Can humans communicate with bacterias?

Humans cannot communicate with bacteria in the same way we communicate with each other, as bacteria lack a nervous system and consciousness. However, humans can influence bacterial behavior through chemical signals, such as antibiotics or signaling molecules that affect their growth and activity. Additionally, researchers are exploring ways to manipulate bacterial communication, known as quorum sensing, for applications in medicine and biotechnology. Thus, while direct communication isn't possible, interactions and influences do occur.
