Louis Pasteur’s experiments on tartaric acid laid the foundation for our understanding of molecular chirality, but major questions remain. By comparing the optical activity of naturally-occurring tartaric acid with chemically-synthesized paratartaric acid, Pasteur realized that naturally-occurring tartaric acid contained only L-tartaric acid while paratartaric acid consisted of a racemic mixture of D- and L-tartaric acid. Curiously, D-tartaric acid has no known natural source, yet several gut bacteria specifically degrade D-tartaric acid. Here, we investigated the oxidation of monosaccharides by inflammatory reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. We found that this reaction yields an array of alpha hydroxy carboxylic acids, including tartaric acid isomers. Utilization of inflammation- derived D- and L-tartaric acid enhanced colonization bySalmonellaTyphimurium andE. coliin murine models of gut inflammation. Our findings suggest that byproducts of inflammatory radical metabolism, such as tartrate and other alpha hydroxy carboxylic acids, create transient nutrient niches for enteric pathogens and other potentially harmful bacteria. Furthermore, this work illustrates that inflammatory radicals generate a zoo of molecules, some of which may erroneously presumed to be xenobiotics.
