It is also known that other parasitic nematodes exhibit broad antimicrobial activity by secreting antibacterial factors such as lysozymes, cecropins, or C-type lectins; therefore, they can limit the growth of certain microbes and enrich the gut environment with nematode-protective microbiota members, supporting the suppression of host immunity and facilitating infection [45,56,57,58]. Here, LYZ is linked to infection.
