Optimal Response to Quorum-Sensing Signals Varies in Different Host Environments with Different Pathogen Group Size
ABSTRACT The persistence of genetic variation in master regulators of gene expression, such as quorum-sensing systems, is hard to explain. Here, we investigated two alternative hypotheses for the prevalence of polymorphic quorum sensing in Gram-positive bacteria, i.e., the use of different signal/re...
