Western-style diet impedes colonization and clearance of gut bacterial pathogens
2020-10-07
Abstract excerpt
Western-style diet (WSD), which is high in fat and low in fiber, lacks nutrients to support gut microbiota. Consequently, WSD promotes microbiota encroachment and reduces microbiota density, potentially influencing colonization resistance, immune system readiness, and, consequently host defense against pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, the low-nutrient colonic environment resulting from WSD might impact bacterial...
