“…In addition, broad‐spectrum antibiotics are well known to prevent the growth of other competing species and consequently alter community composition (Slattery et al ., 2001; Hibbing et al ., 2010; Tyc et al ., 2014). Some strains produce bacteriocins, which are growth‐inhibitory agents active only against closely related strains (Hirsch, 1979; Riley and Gordon, 1999; Gardner et al ., 2004; Portella et al ., 2009; Dobson et al ., 2012). Similarly to broad‐spectrum antibiotics, bacteriocins can strongly inhibit the growth of sensitive strains, change strain community composition, and additionally influence competition for host colonization (Schwinghamer and Brockwell, 1978; Hirsch, 1979; Triplett and Barta, 1987; Wilson et al ., 1998; Oresnik et al ., 1999; Riley and Gordon, 1999; Gardner et al ., 2004; Gillor et al ., 2009).…”
