Interkingdom signaling



Interkingdom Signaling (also interkingdom communication, cross-kingdom signaling or communication): A termed first coined in 2003/2004 to describe the effects of quorum sensing autoinducers produced by bacterial pathogens on host cells. The concept that small signaling molecules produced by organisms from every kingdom of nature can facilitate cross-talk,communication or signal interference.
