Description:
Article Certain bacterial metabolites can affect insect behaviour, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that 2-aminoacetophenone, produced by the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa , attracts flies and facilitates microbial dissemination and colonization of the fly gut.
