Supplementing bacterial genera reduced in infants at high risk for asthma ameliorates lung inflammation in mice. Window of opportunity for asthma Changes in the gut microbiota have been implicated in the development of asthma in animal models; however, it has remained unclear whether these findings hold true in humans. Now, Arrieta et al. report in a longitudinal human study that infants at risk of asthma have transient gut microbial dysbiosis during the first 100 days of life. They found that… CONTINUE READING
