Pathogenic threats to biodiversity contribute significantly to community and species level extinctions, and for amphibians the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is their greatest threat. The host-pathogen dynamics between amphibians and Bd are not fully understood; however, recent studies have shown that the microbial community composition on amphibian epidermal tissues can promote resistance to the disease. Antidermatophyte bacteria can inhibit fungi that require keratin from the epidermis for growth. Two species, Janthinobacterium lividum and Pseudomonas fluorescens, have...
