Autoinducer 2-based quorum sensing response of Escherichia coli to sub-therapeutic tetracycline exposure

Autoinducer 2-based quorum sensing response of Escherichia coli to sub-therapeutic tetracycline exposure

Autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal employed by bacteria to coordinate their response to environmental stresses. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between presence of AI-2 molecules, exposure to sub-therapeutic tetracycline, the expression of genes associated...
