      The bacterial metabolite 2-aminoacetophenone promotes association of pathogenic bacteria with flies 

      Kapsetaki, Stefania Elisavet; Tzelepis, Ilias; Avgousti, Kalodoti; Livadaras, Ioannis; Garantonakis, Nikos G.; Varikou, Kyriaki N.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos (2014)
      Bacteria contaminate insects and secrete metabolites that may affect insect behaviour and potentially fitness through unknown mechanisms. Here we show that the 'grape-like' odorant 2-aminoacetophenone (2AA), secreted by ...

      Homeostatic interplay between bacterial cell-cell signaling and iron in virulence 

      Hazan, R.; He, J.; Xiao, G.; Dekimpe, V.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Lesic, B.; Astrakas, C.; Déziel, Eric; Lépine, F.; Rahme, L. G. (2010)
      Pathogenic bacteria use interconnected multi-layered regulatory networks, such as quorum sensing (QS) networks to sense and respond to environmental cues and external and internal bacterial cell signals, and thereby adapt ...
