The gut is the first site of bacterial colonization where it is crucial to create the appropriate microenvironment able to balance effector or tolerogenic responses to external stimuli.

The presence of a less diverse microbiota with a higher representation of pathogenic species leads to a fast replenishment of the marginal zone and the IgM plasma cell compartment of the spleen as well as IgA plasma cells in the gut. © 2018 European Federation of Immunological Societies
