%X In the January issue of Cell, Silpe and Bassler (2019) Silpe J.E. Bassler B.L. A host-produced quorum-sensing autoinducer controls a phage lysis-lysogeny decision. Cell. 2019; 176 : 268-280.e13 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (0) Google Scholar characterize a phage that looks beyond the boundaries of infected host cells by directly wiretapping their intercellular communication. This information influences the phage¡¯s decision of when to kill the host, likely in order to optimize the ecological prospects of phage progeny
