luxS contributes to intramacrophage survival of Streptococcus agalactiae by positively affecting the expression of fruRKI operon

Abstract The LuxS quorum sensing system is a widespread system employed by many bacteria for cell-to-cell communication. The luxS gene has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in intramacrophage survival of piscine Streptococcus agalactiae, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. I...
