Diet composition drives tissue-specific intensity of murine enteric infections

Abstract excerpt

Diet composition plays a large role in regulating of gut health and enteric infection. In particular, synthetic ‘Western-style’ diets may predispose to disease, whilst whole-grain diets containing high levels of crude fiber are thought to promote gut health. Here we show that, in contrast to this paradigm, mice fed unrefined chow are significantly more susceptible to infection with Trichuris muris , a caecum-dwel...
