Gut microbiota within-host evolution enforces colonization resistance against enteric infection

2026-03-28

Abstract excerpt

Limited resource availability in the gut promotes competitive interactions between bacteria, which drive adaptive within-host evolution ( 1–3 ). While adaptive evolution of bacterial communities has been increasingly studied in the recent years ( 4–7 ), its functional implications for host physiology remain unknown. Here, we show that within-host evolution of the human commensal Enterococcus faecalis boosts col...
