title = "Propionic acid promotes the virulent phenotype of Crohn's Disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli",
abstract = "The short chain fatty acid propionic acid is a bacterium-derived human intestinal antimicrobial and immune modulator used widely in Western food production and agriculture. Here, Ormsby et al. demonstrate that exposure to propionic acid induces virulence-associated phenotypic changes in Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC).",
