Microbiota-pathogen interactions after host death:a potential determinant of pathogen evolution

Alexandra von Bismarck, Haicheng Xie, Mathias Franz, Maryam Keshavarz

This study shows that gut microbiota can suppress pathogen proliferation after host death, reducing pathogen fitness and potentially promoting the evolution of less virulent pathogens.

Immune-mediated indirect interaction between gut microbiota and bacterial pathogens

Maryam Keshavarz, Mathias Franz, Haicheng Xie, Caroline Zanchi, Susan Mbedi, Sarah Sparmann, Jens Rolff

This study investigates whether Imd-dependent AMPs mediate indirect interactions between gut microbiota and pathogens in a tripartite context, finding that Imd-independent AMPs and microbiota-mediated immune priming influence infection outcomes.
