Abstract:
Microbial endocrinology is a crossdisciplinary field representing the intersection of microbiology with mammalian endocrinology and neurophysiology. In this review, effects of catecholamine on bacteria were used as an example to demonstrate the interactions between microbes and neuroendocrine hormones. Catecholamine modulates bacterial infectivity by stimulation of bacteria growth and augmentation of host tissue attachment and invasion. Moreover, the bacterial adrenergic receptors recognized by catecholamine and its relationship with quorum sensing signals were also addressed. This review will be helpful for understanding the interactions between microorganism and host as well as health breeding and food safety in animal industries.
