Experimental Evolution as an Underutilized Tool for Studying Beneficial Animal-Microbe Interactions.

abstract：:In the last decades, pollution of the environment by large scale use of antibiotics in agriculture and human medicine have led to increased antimicrobial resistance in both the environment and the host animal microbiome. Disturbances in the host microbiome can result in impaired immunity and reduced resilience of aqua...
