Sugar Turns Bacteria Sweet: A Peace Offering in the Gut
Abstract
Following an infection, a subset of individuals can remain disease free despite harboring a pathogen for a prolonged period. In this issue of Cell, Sanchez et al. demonstrate that a metabolically favorable host response can drive an otherwise lethal bacterial pathogen to abandon virulence and become a commensal microorganism.
