Abstract
Background
The colonic epithelium maintains a life long reciprocally beneficial interaction with the colonic microbiota. Disruption is associated with mucosal injury.
Aims
We hypothesised that probiotics may limit epithelial damage induced by enteroinvasive pathogens, and promote restitution.
