This review provides an overview of how gut bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) to communicate and coordinate their activities, and the role of QS in the interaction between the gut host and microbiota. Understanding the communication network of gut microbiota is crucial for developing strategies against bacterial illnesses and improving gut health.
Gut bacteria employ quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate their activities and communicate with one another, this process relies on the production, detection, and response to autoinducers, which are extracellular signaling molecules. In addition to synchronizing behavioral activities within the species, QS plays a crucial role in the gut host-microbiota interaction. In this review, an overview of classical QS systems is presented as well as the interspecies communication mediated by QS, and recent advances in the host-microbiota interaction mediated by QS. A greater knowledge of the communication network of gut microbiota is not only an opportunity and a challenge for developing nutritional and therapeutic strategies against bacterial illnesses, but also a means for improving gut health.
