What does a bacterial pathogen do after killing its host?

© INRA / Christina Nielsen-LeRoux

An INRA team of Jouy-en-Josas discovered that the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis switches from a virulence state in the living host, to a survival state in the host cadaver by a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing. This system allows the bacteria to adapt and coordinate their behaviour according to their population density. By ensuring survival of these bacteria after the death of their host, this system contributes to their spread into the environment. These findings are published in the journal PLoS Pathogens 12 April 2012.What does a bacterial pathogen do after killing its host?
