ERWINIA CAROTOVORA QUORUM SENSING SYSTEM REGULATES HOST-SPECIFIC VIRULENCE FACTORS AND DEVELOPMENT DELAY IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

Erwinia carotovora Quorum Sensing System Regulates Host-Specific Virulence Factors and Development Delay in Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT Multihost bacteria have to rapidly adapt to drastic environmental changes, relying on a fine integration of multiple stimuli for an optimal genetic response.Erwinia carotovora spp.are phytopathogens that cause soft-rot disease.Strain Ecc15 in particular is a model for bacterial oral-route infection in Drosophila melanogaster as it harbors
