| Title: | Xylose versus Bacteroides in graft-versus-host |
| Abstract: | In a recent Cell paper, Hayase et al. define a mechanistic link between a carbapenem antibiotic and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following hematopoietic cell transplantation. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron was observed to induce degradation of colonic mucus, an effect that was reversed by treatment with xylose, which served as a prebiotic to reduce mortality. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. |
