Amazing work on quorum sensing by @jorgepena9

Excited to share my latest preprint! 🎉 Here we show that Quorum Sensing plays a critical role in regulating bacterial virulence during infection and also that QS signals accumulate dynamically across the gut, enabling behavior regulation based on infection stage and location! 🦠
