Abstract:
Microflora-born bacteria or probiotic strains are able to modulate host-pathogens interactions in the gut. In vivo and in vitro studies indicate that species-specific modulations of intestinal cell glycosylation may represent a simple, general and efficient mechanism to adapt the host defense toward pathogens.
