Commensalism • Benefits both the host and the commensal
... Benefits both the host and the commensal. Commensal- gets ready supply of nutrients and sanctuary Host- commensal competes with other pathogens for nutrients Produces antimicrobial components Produces compound needed by host e.g. HCL Human body commensal is MICROFLORA Human microflora ...

Schlaberg explains that Taxonomer can identify an infection without the physician having to decide what to test for, something a PCR-based test cannot do.
