Surface-Attached Molecules Control Staphylococcus aureus Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Development

Bacteria use a process called quorum sensing to communicate and orchestrate collective behaviors including virulence factor secretion and biofilm formation. Quorum sensing relies on production, release, accumulation, and population-wide detection of signal molecules called autoinducers. Here, we dev...
