Mucin dynamics and enteric pathogens Mucin glycoproteins are the major components of the secreted and cell surface mucosal barriers that prevent infection by microorganisms in the healthy gut. These barriers are effective against pathogens but can be circumvented by enteric pathogens. The mucin barrier is dynamic and responds to immune responses. The mucin barrier consists of secreted mucins, nonspecific antimicrobials, and specific antimicrobial immunoglobulins. The mucus layer has two parts: an inner sterile layer and an outer non-sterile layer. The mucus barrier is important for protecting the mucosa from commensal microorganisms and pathogens. Enteric pathogens recognize environmental cues in the mucus and have strategies to avoid this barrier. The host response includes altering the production and properties of mucus. The mucin barrier is regulated by innate and adaptive immunity. The mucin barrier is composed of secreted mucins, nonspecific antimicrobials, and specific antimicrobial immunoglobulins.
