Using the fly as a model, Audrey Vanhove and Saiyu Hang have discovered a novel virulence mechanism of intestinal pathogens in which consumption of dietary methionine sulfoxide by V. cholerae liberates host methionine sulfoxide reductase to repair oxidized host intestinal proteins required for virulence.
