Abstract

Resident microbes within the gastrointestinal tract are known to influence the progression of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD); however, the identity of the bacteria that exacerbate inflammation remains unknown. In the most recent issue of Cell, Palm et al. (2014) utilize the host immune response as a way to identify colitogenic bacteria.
