Abstract

Disruption of the gut microbiota is thought to contribute to disease onset in individuals with a genetic predisposition to autoimmunity. In a recent issue of Science, Manfredo Vieira et al. (2018) identify translocation of the gut commensal Enterococcus gallinarum into the liver as a trigger for the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematous.
