When we get a bacterial infection, we automatically reach for the antibiotics. But should we instead be adding more bacteria to fix our bacterial woes? Well lucky for me, my biology partner-in-crime Suzie Ford published a paper on that very topic this week in Nature Communications, so I ask her to explain all...
The paper:
Ford et al (in press) Microbe-mediated host defence drives the evolution of reduced pathogen virulence, Nat Comms
DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13430
http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13430
