Complex Responses to Hydrogen Peroxide and Hypochlorous Acid by the Probiotic Bacterium <named-content content-type="genus-species">Lactobacillus reuteri</named-content>

ABSTRACT Inflammatory diseases of the gut are associated with increased intestinal oxygen concentrations and high levels of inflammatory oxidants, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which are antimicrobial compounds produced by the innate immune system. This contributes...
