Microbial community
Gut microbiota
The community of microorganisms living in the gut
Hypotheses on this target 3
Population balance1
Community restoration
Colonisation1
Population balance1
Cyclic microbial competition may drive recurring skin damage through protease release
Where this hypothesis actsSkin exposed to repeated applications of a drug or its vehicle, with three competing microbial strategies
What is proposedRemove one participant to interrupt cyclic microbial competition
With whatNot stated in the record
HowRemove one member of the community comprising an antimicrobial producer, a resistant strain and a sensitive fast-growing strain
Possible resultPossible interruption of repeated protease and skin damage peaks

Colonisation1
Sleep-first treatment may sustain recovery by changing which gut microbes establish first
Where this hypothesis actsDuring menopause treatment, with starting communities and antibiotic exposures potentially affecting responses
What is proposedEstablish a recovery-associated community and sustain its metabolic output
With whatChange of environment or regimen
HowApply sleep rehabilitation before vasomotor suppression so recovery-associated strains establish; competitive exclusion is proposed to maintain the community
Possible resultPossible durable autonomic benefit after treatment ends
