Perinatal crosstalk of microbiota and intestinal macrophages in the control of mucosal pathogens
Our project explores the co-development of the neonatal microbiota and intestinal Mφ. We focus on metabolic programming and epigenetic imprinting in the integration of potentially highly pathogenic mucosal colonizers, in particular streptococci, into the host-adapted microbiota. We examine molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying co-evolution of a stable intestinal host-microbe interface.
