This case is a further example of the contentious role of this species in causing human intestinal disease. Furthermore, it focuses on enteric damage by GvHD as a risk factor for acquiring H. alvei colonization, and probably infection. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.2008/001164-0
