  abstract = {{M}icroorganisms comprise the majority of earth's biodiversity and are integral to biosphere processes. {B}iological invasions are no exception to this trend. {T}he success of introduced macroorganisms can be deeply influenced by diverse microorganisms ( bacteria, virus, fungus and protozoa) occupying the whole range of species interaction outcomes, from parasitism to obligate mutualism. {T}his large range of interactions, often coupled with complex historical and introduction events, can result in a wide variety of ecological dynamics. {I}n this chapter, we review different situations in which microorganisms affect biological invasions. {F}irst, we consider outcomes of microorganism loss during the introduction of alien species. {S}econd, we discuss positive effects of microorganisms on the invasiveness of their exotic hosts. {T}hird, we examine the influence of microorganisms hosted by native species on the success of introduced species. {F}inally, in an applied perspective, we envisage how microorganisms can be used (i) to better decipher invasion processes and (ii) as biological control agents.},
