- Title
Friend and foe: the two faces of Xenorhabdus nematophila.
- Authors
Herbert, Erin E; Goodrich-Blair, Heidi
- Abstract
Comparisons of mutualistic and pathogenic relationships are necessary to decipher the common language of microorganism-host interactions, as well as the subtle differences in dialect that distinguish types of symbiosis. One avenue towards making such comparisons is to study a single organism that speaks both dialects, such as the gamma-proteobacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila. X. nematophila inhabits and influences the lives of two host animals, helping one to reproduce optimally while killing the other.
