Overview:
Bacteria communicate, cooperate and compete, resulting in a wide range of group behaviors such as dispersal, foraging, biofilm formation, chemical warfare and quorum sensing. Our group, based in the Center for Microbial Dynamics & Infection, studies microbial interactions and social behaviors and the implications for virulence and antimicrobial resistance.
