The microbiota protects against respiratory infection via GM-CSF signaling

The microbiota promotes resistance to respiratory infection through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors identify members of the gut and upper airway microbiota that protect against respiratory infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae by activating GM-CSF signaling.
