| Abstract | Some microbial metabolites can be immunomodulatory, but there is limited understanding of how these contribute to inter-individual variation in response to infection. In a recent study in Science, Steed et al. (2017) show that the bacterial metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) increases type I interferon expression, resulting in an improved immune response to influenza infection. |
