Microbiomes
Competitive exclusion is an ecological principle stating that two species competing for the same limited resources cannot coexist indefinitely. When two species vie for the same niche, one will typically outcompete the other, leading to the latter's local extinction. This concept is essential in understanding how probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics can influence gut microbiomes by affecting microbial competition and resource availability.
