Limited resource availability in the gut promotes competitive interactions between bacteria, which drive adaptive within-host evolution. While the role of bacterial adaptive evolution of bacterial communities has been extensively studied, its functional implications for host physiology remain unk...
Protection against pathogens is a major function of the gut microbiota. Although bacterial natural products have emerged as crucial components of host-microbiota interactions, their exact role in microbiota-mediated protection is largely unexplored. We addressed this knowledge gap with the nemato...
