Designing microbial communities to starve out invading pathogens

Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Feb 14;32(2):145-146. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.01.008.ABSTRACTIdentifying key features required for specific community-level functions can be challenging, especially considering the complexity of the gut microbiome. In a recent study in Science, Spragge et al. present a high-throughput experimental framework to rationally design microbial communities that can resist invasion by specific bacterial pathogens.PMID:38359793 | DOI:10.1016/j.chom.2024.01.008
