Glycans as legislators of host-microbial interactions: spanning the spectrum from symbiosis to pathogenicity

Abstract excerpt

The number of microbes associated with our gut likely exceeds our total number of somatic and germ cells. Despite their numbers, almost nothing is known about the molecular mechanisms that determine whether the interaction between a microbial species and its host will be beneficial. Recent results obtained from in vivo models have revealed critical roles for glycoconjugates in helping define the outcome of two...
