Quorum Sensing (QS) is a form of cell-to-cell communication that enables bacteria to modify behavior according to their population density. While QS has been proposed as a potential intervention against pathogen infection, QS-mediated communication within the mammalian digestive tract remains understudied. Using an LC-MS/MS approach, we discovered that <i>Citrobacter rodentium</i>, a natural murine pathogen used to model human infection by pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i>, utilizes the CroIR s ...[more]
