Galleria mellonella: A Novel Invertebrate Model to Distinguish Intestinal Symbionts From Pathobionts

Insects and mammals share evolutionary conserved innate immune responses to maintain intestinal homeostasis. We investigated whether the larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella may be used as an experimental organism to distinguish between symbiotic Bacteroides vulgatus and pathobiotic Es...
