Our data suggest this phenomenon occurs through a mechanism that differs from PTS-transport of oligosaccharides generated from either degradation or chitinase-mediated hydrolysis of the polymer. Importantly, an indication that chitin can repress virulence expression of a constitutively active PrfA∗ mutant is shown, possibly mediated via a post-translational modification inhibiting PrfA∗ activity. To our knowledge, this is the first time that chitin is reported as a molecule with anti-virulence properties against a pathogenic bacterium
