Abstract

Environmental bacteria belonging to the various closely related species forming the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) can infect plants and animals, including humans. Their pathogenicity is regulated by intercellular communication, or quorum sensing, allowing them to collaborate instead of acting individually.
