Negative interactions determine Clostridioides difficile growth in synthetic human gut communities
Abstract Understanding the principles of colonization resistance of the gut microbiome to the pathogen Clostridioides difficile will enable the design of defined bacterial therapeutics. We investigate the ecological principles of community resistance to C. difficile using a synthetic human gut micro...
