Microbial Respiration in the Colon: Using H2O2 to Catch Your Breath.

Microbial Respiration in the Colon: Using H2O2 to Catch Your Breath.
Cell Host Microbe. 2020 Dec 09;28(6):771-773
Authors: Crowley SM, Vallance BA
Abstract
To colonize the nutritionally competitive environment of the gut, invading bacteria must utilize unique metabolites. Two reports in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe describe how Citrobacter rodentium and Escherichia coli leverage colonocyte derived H2O2 to drive two distinct respiratory pathways that support their proliferation in the mouse intestine.
