Cooperation and competition in pathogenic bacteria

Article Abstract:

The effect of the scale of competition, its interaction with relatedness and cooperation in pathogenic bacteria is tested using an experimental evolution approach. Results indicate that a significant level of interaction exists between relatedness and the scale of competition and relatedness has less effect when the scale of competition is local.
