The DSF Family of Cell–Cell Signals: An Expanding Class of Bacterial Virulence Regulators

Many pathogenic bacteria use cell–cell signaling systems involving the synthesis and perception of diffusible signal molecules to control virulence as a response to cell density or confinement to niches. Bacteria produce signals of diverse structural classes. Signal molecules of the diffusible signa...
