Microbiota and pathogen ‘pas de deux’: setting up and breaking down barriers to intestinal infection

31 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiota plays essential roles in human health and disease. In this review, we focus on the role of the intestinal microbiota in promoting resistance to infection by bacterial pathogens as well as how pathogens overcome this barrier. We discuss how the resident microbiota restricts growth and colonization of invading pathogens by limiting availability of nutrients and through generation of a hostile...
