Commensal Escherichia coli Strains Can Promote Intestinal Inflammation via Differential Interleukin-6 Production

Commensal Escherichia coli Strains Can Promote Intestinal Inflammation via Differential Interleukin-6 Production

Escherichia coli is a facultative anaerobic symbiont found widely among mammalian gastrointestinal tracts. Several human studies have reported increased commensal E. coli abundance in the intestine during inflammation; however, host immunological responses toward commensal E. coli during inflammatio...
