Life history trade-offs and relaxed selection can decrease bacterial virulence in environmental reservoirs.
Pathogen virulence is usually thought to evolve in reciprocal selection with the host. While this might be true for obligate pathogens, the life histories of opportunistic pathogens typically alternate between within-host and outside-host environments during the infection-transmission cycle.
