Gut-associated bacteria produce metabolites that both have a local influence on the intestinal tract and act at a distance on remote organs. In Drosophila, bacteria-derived peptidoglycan (PGN) displays such a dual role. PGN triggers local antimicrobial peptide production by enterocytes; it also activates systemic immune responses in fat-body cells and modulates fly behavior by acting on neurons.
