Abstract
Recent reports link Sutterella with gastrointestinal diseases, the most intriguing being therapeutic failure in ulcerative colitis (UC). Sutterella does not appear to induce substantial inflammation; rather, it has a capacity to degrade IgA. This activity, however, is not conserved, presenting a key target to deciphering the influence of Sutterella on the host.
