Bassler explains that human body is composed of mainly viral structures with a percentage higher than 90%, or even 99%. Communication mechanism of these viral structures are particularly important for us. Understanding of this mechanism that blocks communication among disease-causing organisms may support new defense systems.

Especially the new generation of antibiotics, seem to benefit from this discovery.
