Butyrate protects against MRSA pneumonia via regulating gut-lung microbiota and alveolar macrophage M2 polarization

ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a well-recognized cause of bacterial pneumonia in general. The gut microbiota and their metabolic byproducts act as important modulators of the gut-lung axis. Our investigation indicates a significant reduction in the abundance of butyra...
