text: 'Polymicrobial infections constitute small ecosystems that accommodate several
bacterial species. Commonly, these bacteria are investigated in isolation. However,
it is unknown to what extent the isolates interact and whether their interactions
alter bacterial growth and ecosystem resilience in the presence and absence of
antibiotics. We quantified the complete ecological interaction network for 72
bacterial isolates collected from 23 individuals diagnosed with polymicrobial
urinary tract infections and found that most interactions cluster based on evolutionary
relatedness. Statistical network analysis revealed that competitive and cooperative
reciprocal interactions are enriched in the global network, while cooperative
interactions are depleted in the individual host community networks. A population
dynamics model parameterized by our measurements suggests that interactions restrict
community stability, explaining the observed species diversity of these communities.
We further show that the clinical isolates frequently protect each other from
clinically relevant antibiotics. Together, these results highlight that ecological
interactions are crucial for the growth and survival of bacteria in polymicrobial
infection communities and affect their assembly and resilience. '
