Death and survival in Streptococcus mutans: differing outcomes of a quorum-sensing signaling peptide
Bacteria are considered “social” organisms able to communicate with one another using small hormone-like molecules (pheromones) in a process called quorum-sensing (QS). These signaling molecules increase in concentration as a function of bacterial cell density. For most human pathogens, QS is critic...
