Broad-spectrum antibiotics should prevent disease, right? In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Drummond et al. turn logic on its head and show they actually drive more deadly invasive fungal-bacterial systemic co-infection. Prophylactic antibiotics increase susceptibility to these infections by targeting the commensal microbes required for gut-derived IL-17-mediated immunity.
广谱抗生素应该能预防疾病,对吧?在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》杂志中,Drummond 等人颠覆了这一逻辑,表明它们实际上会导致更致命的侵袭性真菌-细菌全身合并感染。预防性抗生素通过靶向肠道来源的 IL-17 介导免疫所需的共生微生物,增加了对这些感染的易感性。
