Propionic acid promotes the virulent phenotype of Crohn’s disease-associated adherent-invasive <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2018-08-09
Abstract excerpt
The short chain fatty acid propionic acid (PA) is a bacteria-derived human intestinal antimicrobial and immune modulator used widely in Western food production and agriculture. Here we examine the effect of PA on the pathogenicity of the Crohn’s disease-associated microbe, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC). Passage of AIEC through a murine model, where the low intestinal PA levels were increased to replic...
