In vitro Recapitulation of the Polymicrobial Communities Associated with Cystic Fibrosis Airway Infections
… and the metabolism of individual members of a polymicrobial community, compared with growth as an axenic population, is becoming increasingly apparent within the field of medical microbiology. In part, these poorly understood interactions explain why, regardless of intense research efforts, …

Interactions between Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis in polymicrobial communities affect antimicrobial resistance and survival in vivo
… with otitis media, but these surface-attached communities may contain multiple species of bacteria. Within a polymicrobial biofilm, the bacteria are able to share certain resources, including metabolic byproducts, virulence factors, and signaling molecules. Prior studies in the lab have shown …

Characterizing the Role of the Type VI Secretion System in Interbacterial Species Interactions and Pathogenesis
… them to compete for specific niches, persist in polymicrobial communities, and contribute to virulence and pathogenesis. One mechanism Gram-negative bacteria have adapted is the use of type VI secretion systems (T6SS). The T6SS is a large needle complex that spans across the entire bacterial cell …

Advancing single cell microbiology and bacteriophage-bacteria interactions using microfluidics and image-based deep learning
… investigate clinically relevant individual and polymicrobial–phage interactions, with a focus on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Morphology-based phenotyping revealed dynamic lytic and non-lytic responses at the single-cell level, including transient states …
