Upon microbial infections, host defenses comprise two complementary facets. First, immune effectors target and kill the invading pathogen, an attack referred to as resistance. Second, the infected host must repair the damages inflicted by microbes or by the immune response itself, a mechanism called resilience. I have studied the effects of an intestinal infection with the bacterium Serratia marcescens in Drosophila. We have discovered a purge mechanism in the intestine, where enterocytes -the main cell type in the gut- extrude some of their internal contents. The intestinal epithelium thus becomes very thin but rapidly recovers its shape, thereby protecting the fly against the deleterious effects of infection. I have identified an amino ac...
