Incomplete immunity in a natural animal-microbiota interaction boosts pathogen virulence

2023-09-20

Abstract excerpt

Strong partial immunity in recovered hosts is predicted to favour more virulent pathogens upon re-infection in the population. We present empirical evidence that the incomplete immunity generated by commensal host microbiota can similarly select for higher pathogen virulence. We tracked the evolutionary trajectories of a widespread pathogen ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) experimentally passaged through populations of...
