Influence of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) and AI-2 inhibitors generated from processed poultry on virulence and growth of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

Bacteria produce and respond to external stimuli using molecules termed autoinducers. Poultry meat contains inhibitors which interfere with AI-2 signaling. The primary objective of this work was to understand the effects of AI-2 on the virulence and growth of Salmonella Typhimurium, and if the intro...
