title: Microbiota talks cholera out of the gut.
abstract: In a recent Nature paper, Hsiao et al., 2014 examine microbiota contribution during and after cholera and identify commensals correlated with healing and reconstitution of the microbial community. One particular species may use intercellular communication to stymie Vibrio cholerae pathogenesis, indicating how the microbiota can restrict pathogens.
