Abstract

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is an intercellular communication process used by bacteria to regulate collective behavior. QS relies on extracellular signaling molecules to dynamically regulate a variety of metabolic and physiological activities. Studies have found that bacterial QS plays an important role in regulating intestinal microorganisms and intestinal absorption of nutrients. The intestine is the main absorption organ of nutrients and the gathering place of microbial bacteria. The nutrients and microorganisms in the intestine directly or indirectly affect the health of animal organisms. Harmful bacteria can threaten the health of the host through virulence factors secreted by QS, while probiotics can achieve the purpose of protecting the host by inhibiting the occurrence of harmful bacterial QS. Therefore, this paper reviewed the relationship between bacterial QS, intestinal microbes, and nutrients and the countermeasures to inhibit QS to promote intestine health.
