Many infectious diseases of humans are caused by polymicrobial communities, but there are few in vivo models to study such communities. In a recent issue of PLoS Pathogens, Sibley and colleagues (Sibley et al., 2008a) report the development of a fruit fly infection model to investigate polymicrobial interactions and their effects on the host.
