Journal ArticleDOI
MIcrobial evolution and transitions along the parasite-mutualist continuum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate theoretical and empirical findings to discuss the mechanisms underpinning these evolutionary shifts, as well as the ecological drivers and why some host-microorganism interactions may be stuck at the end of the continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host microbiota can facilitate pathogen infection.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the ways in which a host microbiota contributes to infectious disease throughout the host's life and potentially across evolutionary time and discuss the implications of these negative outcomes for microbiota manipulation and engineering in disease management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host genotype and genetic diversity shape the evolution of a novel bacterial infection.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors experimentally evolved a pathogen (Staphylococcus aureus) in populations of wild nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans) to test whether host genotype and genetic diversity affect pathogen evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiome: Evolution in a World of Interaction.
TL;DR: Two new studies reveal that the tempo and patterns of evolutionary change in a mammalian gut commensal can be altered dramatically during interactions with both the host and its microbiome.
