摘要:
Communication through quorum sensing (OS) enables bacterial populations to coordinate their behavior. Recent work on N-acylhomoserine lactone-mediated QS has revealed that some soil bacteria exploit host-derived substrates to generate an alternative N-substituted homoserine lactone. New light has also been shed on the mechanism by which N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone modulates host inflammatory signaling pathways to promote bacterial survival.
