Researchers have identified a new axis of host defense by studying what happens during enteric infection -- a term that encompasses all types of intestinal infections including so called 'stomach flu.' Intestinal infections can change the composition of liver bile, leading to changes in immune function and gut bacteria, potentially helping fight off harmful bacteria.
Researchers have identified a new axis of host defense by studying what happens during enteric infection -- a term that encompasses all types of intestinal infections including so called"stomach flu.
Using a mouse model, this study used global metabolic analysis to investigate changes in metabolites during an enteric infection. The mice were infected with one of two pathogens,, which replicates in the caecum and colon. The different infection groups led to both shared and specific changes in bile metabolites. Moreover, hundreds of new metabolites that are in the bile metabolome were described.
