It induces immune-mediated host defenses and consumes the plant-derived monosaccharides that are required for the pathogen’s growth. By this, the bacterium can stop the activity of pathogenic bacteria that are responsible for gut infections such as colitis. Additionally, it secretes soluble factors that repress toxin production in the pathogenic bacterium enterohaemorrhagic E. coli.
