Talk this way: Different bacteria useidenticalquorumsensing (QS) signals to regulate important cell‐density dependent phenotypes. Herein, we show that non‐native compounds previously identified as QS modulators in one speciescan be reappropriated to regulate QS in alternate bacteria that utilize the same native signal. These results considerably broaden the species range of the known non‐native QS
