Abstract
Cell-cell conversation mechanism controls bacterial virulence factors which are considered as sources for different bacterial infection diseases. These pathogenic bacteria are widespread in living systems. Here, we discuss significant mathematical formalism (i.e. deterministic and stochastic model) for the process of endosome escape via virulence factor production in S. aureus, competence evoking bacterial communication and quorum sensing inhibitors model.
