Abstract

In the complex gastrointestinal tract landscape, competition for resources is fierce among microbes. One way to avoid conflict is migration to a different microhabitat. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Liou et al. demonstrate how a commensal and pathogen differ in how and where they acquire nitrate.
