The strength of interspecies interaction in a microbial community determines its susceptibility to invasion.

Abstract excerpt

Previous work shows that a host's resident microbial community can provide resistance against an invading pathogen. However, this community is continuously changing over time due to adaptive mutations, and how these changes affect the invasion resistance of these communities remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we used an experimental evolution approach in synthetic communities of Escherichia...
