But what they do, we now understand, is they get in you, they wait, they start growing, they count themselves with these little molecules, and they recognize when they have the right cell number that if all of the bacteria launch their virulence attack together, they're going to be successful at overcoming an enormous host.
Vi forstår nå at de kommer seg inn, venter, begynner å vokse og blir mange, at de teller hvor mange de er gjennom disse molekyler, og vil så forstå tidspunktet der de er mange nok bakterieceller at dersom de angriper som samlet styrke, vil de kunne klare å overvinne en aldri så overveldende stor vert.
