Abstract

Commensal microbiota confers a goldilocks state of alertness to pathogens, yet restrains deleterious inflammation. In this issue of Immunity, Geuking et al. (2011) demonstrate that a minimal bacterial community of the Schaedler flora establishes a balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory T cells in the gut.
