The role of innate immune responses in the outcome of interspecies competition for colonization of mucosal surfaces.
Since mucosal surfaces may be simultaneously colonized by multiple species, the success of an organism may be determined by its ability to compete with co-inhabitants of its niche. To explore the contribution of host factors to polymicrobial competition, a murine model was used to study the initiati...
