Salmonella exploits a quorum-sensing family signal of the gut commensal Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to facilitate its colonization
It is shown that Salmonella-induced oxidative stress can stimulate the colonic resident Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to enhance the secretion of the diffusible signal factor cis-2-hexadecenoic acid (c2-HDA), a potent repressor of Salmonella virulence.
