Microbes Dress for Success: Tolerance or Resistance?

Janelle S Ayres. Trends Microbiol. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

The intestinal microbiota performs essential functions for host physiology, but the specific constituents and the microbial factors required to promote host health remain largely unknown. A study by Rangan et al. suggests that members of the microbiota can modify microbial associated molecular patterns to promote host defense against invading pathogens.

Keywords: disease tolerance; intestinal microbiota; resistance.
