Excerpt

Asthma is the most prevalent of all childhood diseases and accounts for the majority of hospitalizations and school absences in children [1]. Current mouse model research has identified the early life gut microbiota as a potential therapeutic target for the prevention of asthma and atopic diseases [24]. We hypothesize that the early life gut microbiota could play a similar preventative role against atopic disease development in humans. …
