New research shows that certain bacteria can alter antibodies so much that they’re unrecognizable to the body’s defenses — potentially leading to immune friendly fire. The bacteria, called Akkermansia muciniphila, can strip the sugar coating from IgA antibodies, immune proteins abundant in the gut.

One of the indignities of getting older is the way your body’s defenses against microbes begin to break down, leaving you extra vulnerable to infection.
