Read more Reported cases of diarrheal samples exhibiting co-infections or multiple infections with two or more infectious agents are on the rise, likely due to advances in bacterial diagnostic techniques. Our work aims to decode the communication between bacterial pathogens within the digestive system and investigates whether they compete or cooperate. Additionally, we examine how commensal strains of the microbiome intercept this communication through specific metabolites
