Population density affects the outcome of competition in co-cultures of <i>Gardnerella</i> species isolated from the human vaginal microbiome

2021-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Negative frequency-dependent selection is one possible mechanism for maintenance of rare species in communities, but the selective advantage of rare species may be checked at lower overall population densities where resources are abundant. Gardnerella spp. belonging to cpn60 subgroup D, are detected at low levels in vaginal microbiomes and are nutritional generalists relative to other more abundant Gardnerella s...
