Many microbial communities live in highly competitive surroundings, in which the fight for resources determines their survival and genetic persistence. Humans live in a close relationship with microbial communities, which includes the health- and disease-determining interactions with our microbiome. Accordingly, the understanding of microbial competitive activities are essential at physiological and pathophysiological levels. Here we provide a brief overview on microbial competition and discuss some of its roles and consequences that directly affect humans.
许多微生物群落生活在竞争激烈的环境中,在这种环境中,对资源的争夺决定了它们的生存和基因延续。人类与微生物群落有着密切的关系,其中包括与我们的微生物组在健康和疾病方面的决定性相互作用。因此,了解微生物的竞争活动在生理和病理生理层面至关重要。在此,我们简要概述微生物竞争,并讨论其直接影响人类的一些作用和后果。
