What is it about?
Using a host-pathogen screening assay, we discovered a marine bacterium capable of rescuing infecting C-elegans worms from a lethal Pseudomonas infection

Why is it important?
The versatility of the screening assay in discovering potential natural metabolites is highlighted. The importance of fatty acids in host immunity is also showed.
Perspectives
Discovering of potential metabolites with lower risks of resistance development in target pathogens.
