Abstract

Intestinal immunoglobulin (Ig)A binds to distinct commensals and pathobionts, but do these IgA-coated bacterial communities define clinical characteristics of inflammatory disease? In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Shapiro et al. comprehensively analyze IgA-coated bacteria in new onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), revealing their potential in guiding precision therapy and diagnostic stratification.
