A274 GUT MICROBIOTA REGULATES INNATE EPITHELIAL RESPONSES AGAINST AN ENTERIC BACTERIAL PATHOGEN
Abstract
Our gut microbiota plays a protective role in the GI tract, by promoting colonization resistance against enteric pathogens through nutrient competition. Antibiotic treatments in early life can lead to prolonged microbial dysbiosis and increase susceptibility to future enteric infections. Moreover, the gut microbiota have been shown to impact the development of the mucosal and systemic immune systems. Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) are …
