<i>Salmonella</i> versus the Microbiome
Andrew W. L. Rogers, Renée M. Tsolis, Andreas J. Bäumler
Abstract
A balanced gut microbiota contributes to health, but the mechanisms maintaining homeostasis remain elusive. Microbiota assembly during infancy is governed by competition between species and by environmental factors, termed habitat filters, that determine the range of successful traits within the microbial community.
