Commensals, probiotics and pathogens in the C aenorhabditis elegans model

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful model host for a wide variety of microorganisms that have implications for human health. Recent surveys of mammalian and metazoan microbiota demonstrate the often profound effects of gut commensal bacteria on host lifespan, health and development. Work using C. elegans has revealed the surprising extent to which bacterial metabolism can interact with host pathways with examples...
