Bacterial Indole as a Multifunctional Regulator of Klebsiella oxytoca Complex Enterotoxicity

ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal microbes respond to biochemical metabolites that coordinate their behaviors. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial indole functions as a multifactorial mitigator of Klebsiella grimontii and Klebsiella oxytoca pathogenicity. These closely related microbes produce the enterotox...
