Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Bacteria of the genus Achromobacter are environmental germs, with an unknown reservoir. It can become opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients, causing bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, or peritonitis.

Competition–colonization dynamics in experimental bacterial metacommunities [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2012 One of the simplest hypotheses used to explain species coexistence is the competition-colonization trade-off, that is, species can stably coexist in a landscape if they show a trade-off between competitive and colonization abilities. Despite extensive theory, the dynamics predicted to result from competition-colonization trade-offs are largely untested.

Neisseria mucosa Does Not Inhibit the Growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Sci, 2022 Antibiotic-sparing treatments are required to prevent the further emergence of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Commensal Neisseria species have previously been found to inhibit the growth of pathogenic Neisseria species. For example, a

Stability of multispecies bacterial communities: Signaling networks may stabilize microbiomes [PDF]
, 2013 Multispecies bacterial communities can be remarkably stable and resilient even though they consist of cells and species that compete for environmental resources.

Cooperation, competition and antibiotic resistance in bacterial colonies [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2018 Abstract Bacteria commonly live in dense and genetically diverse communities associated with surfaces. In these communities, competition for resources and space is intense, and yet we understand little of how this affects the spread of antibiotic-resistant strains.

Competitive and cooperative metabolic interactions in bacterial communities [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2011 Revealing the ecological principles that shape communities is a major challenge of the post-genomic era. To date, a systematic approach for describing inter-species interactions has been lacking. Here we independently predict the competitive and cooperative potential between 6,903 bacterial pairs derived from a collection of 118 species' metabolic ...

The antimicrobial systems of Streptococcus suis promote niche competition in pig tonsils
Virulence, 2022 Streptococcus suis can cause severe infections in pigs and humans. The tonsils of pigs are major niches for S. suis, and different serotypes of S. suis can be found in the same tonsil. Pig tonsil colonization by S.

Competition for space during bacterial colonization of a surface [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015 Abstract Competition for space is ubiquitous in the ecology of both microorganisms and macro-organisms. We introduce a bacterial model system in which the factors influencing competition for space during colonization of an initially empty habitat can be tracked directly.

The tip protein PAAR is required for the function of the type VI secretion system
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacteria are constantly competing to colonize crowded ecological niches, such as the human gut. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a critical bacterial weapon in this warfare.
