摘要：

The Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, utilizes a LuxS/autoinducer-2-dependent quorum sensing mechanism to control a specific subset of bacterial proteins. It is hypothesized that this system facilitates transmission of B. burgdorferi from feeding ticks into warm-blooded hosts. (C) 2003 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
