| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Microorganisms communcate each other using various chemical compounds as language. Most pathogenic bacteria control their pathogenesis by these communication.Thus, if we can block their communication, we may apply it to treatment or prevention to many diseases. In this study, we found and cahracterized a new factor to block the bacterial communication. It is very interesting that this factor can block the wide range of communication among bacteria.
