Giardia spp.-induced microbiota dysbiosis disrupts intestinal mucin glycosylation
16 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Infection with the protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis (syn. intestinalis, lamblia) has been associated with intestinal mucus disruptions and microbiota dysbiosis. The mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Mucus consists primarily of densely glycosylated mucin glycoproteins. Mucin O-glycans influence mucus barrier properties and mucin–microbe interactions and are frequently altered during disease. In this...
