- Reposted by Jorge Hernández-GarcíaNot all bacteria are beneficial in every context. We found that enriching Drosophila with a commensal bacterium reduces tolerance to viral infection. The effect was virus-specific and occurred without changes in viral load, immune gene expression or intestinal damage. rdcu.be/eZ4Sd
