Abstract

During inflammation, the intestinal epithelium produces antimicrobial products to impede bacterial growth. Chanin et al., report that one of these antimicrobial products, reactive oxygen species, also promotes the outgrowth of E. coli. Detoxification of inflammatory reactive oxygen species through AppBCX allows E. coli to respire in an otherwise anaerobic environment.
