Abstract
Our understanding of communication between food-related or health-promoting bacteria may open up a new perspective on how the microbial population is perceived and controlled. This chapter critically reviews the new perspectives for antimicrobial therapy, selection of starters, food quality and discovery of novel biogenic compounds, which are based on the mechanisms of bacterial communication.
