What is microbial antagonism?
Here is how the Online Medical Dictionary defines it:

Microbial Antagonism

A property of microorganisms which enables one microorganism to kill, injure, or inhibit the growth of a different microorganism.

Is this the correct definition?

Oh, wait, my bad, that's microcranial aggravation.
