Abstract Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a major foodborne pathogen that causes hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Increasing evidence indicates that the gut microbiota plays a central role in modulating EHEC pathogenesis through complex metabolic and signaling networks. Beneficial commensa...

Findings showing that the antimicrobial lectin RegIIIβ, together with microbiota-dependent metabolites such as fatty acid-derived cues and polyamines, can unexpectedly facilitate STm colonization support a model in which host defense programs and microbial metabolism are redirected to promote pathogen fitness, revealin...
