Miller MB, Bassler BL · Annual Review of Microbiology 2001

Review

Key finding

Quorum sensing is a widespread, well-characterised mechanism across many bacterial species.

In plain language

A foundational review of how quorum sensing works chemically, across both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

How much weight this carries

Repeatedly demonstrated, with agreement across independent groups.
