Gut microbiota and its symbiotic relationship with the host are crucial for preventing pathogen infection. However, little is known about the mechanisms that drive commensal colonization.Serratiabacteria, commonly found inAnophelesmosquitoes, potentially mediate mosquito resistance toPlasmodium. UsingS. ureilyticaSu_YN1 as a model, we show that a quorum sensing (QS) circuit is crucial for stable colonization. After blood ingestion, the QS synthase SueI generates the signaling molecule N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL). Once C6-HSL binds to the QS receptor SueR, repression of the phenylalanine-to-acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) conversion pathway is lifted. This pathway regulates outer membrane vesicle (OMV) biogenesis and promotesSerratiabiofilm-like aggregate formation, facilitating gut adaptation and colonization. Notably, exposingSerratiaSu_YN1-carryingAnophelesmosquitoes to C6-HSL increasesSerratiagut colonization and enhancesPlasmodiumtransmission-blocking efficacy. These findings provide insights into OMV biogenesis and commensal gut colonization and identify a powerful strategy for enhancing commensal resistance to pathogens.
