Isolation and Identification of ATP-Secreting Bacteria from Mice and Humans

In a recent report, ATP, which was possibly secreted by some intestinal bacteria, was shown to cause colitis in mice via Th17 cell differentiation. However, the ATP-secreting bacteria have not been isolated and identified. In the present study, we report that Enterococcus gallinarum, which is a vanc...

Summary:In a recent report, ATP, which was possibly secreted by some intestinal bacteria, was shown to cause colitis in mice via Th17 cell differentiation. However, the ATP-secreting bacteria have not been isolated and identified. In the present study, we report that Enterococcus gallinarum, which is a vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive coccus isolated from mice and humans, secretes ATP.
