The enteric pathogen enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) causes severe diarrhea, but the influence of the gut microbiota on EHEC infection is largely unknown. A predominant member of the microbiota, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), is resident at EHEC attachment sites. We show that Bt enhances EHEC virulence gene expression through the transcription factor Cra, which is functionally sensitive...
The degree of lineage stability achieved by pathogen-specific CD4 + T cells in vivo, and how this impacts host defense against infection, remains unclear. We demonstrate that in response to Th1-polarizing intracellular bacterial or viral pathogens, only 80%–90% of responding polyclonal T cells become indelibly committed to this lineage. Th1 commitment was nearly invariant in cells that proliferated...
