  "summary": "Apoptosis in the gut triggers an expansion in the Enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria, causing both prolonged tissue injury and delayed repair. However, the mechanisms linking the Enterobacteriaceae bloom and subsequent deleterious tissue response are relatively unknown. Here, we establish purines as a major component of the apoptotic secretome that are consumed by bacteria. Explicitly, we…",
