Environmental exposures during pregnancy that alter both the maternal gut microbiome and
the infant's risk of allergic disease and asthma include a traditional farm environment and …

There is substantial epidemiological and mechanistic evidence that the increase in allergic
disease and asthma in many parts of the world in part relates to changes in microbial …

This review focuses on the current evidence that maternal dietary and gut bacterial
exposures during pregnancy influence the developing fetal immune system and subsequent …

Maternal asthma status, prenatal exposures, and infant gut microbiota perturbation are
associated with heightened risk of atopy and asthma risk in childhood, observations …

The increasing prevalence of allergy in affluent countries may be caused by reduced
intensity and diversity of microbial stimulation, resulting in abnormal postnatal immune …

Limited microbial exposure is suggested to underlie the increase of allergic diseases in
affluent countries, and bacterial diversity seems to be more important than specific bacteria …

Microbiota from various maternal sites, including the gut, vagina and breast milk, are known
to influence colonization in infants. However, emerging evidence suggests that these sites …

The gut microbiome has important roles in host metabolism and immunity, and microbial
dysbiosis affects human physiology and health. Maternal immunity and microbial …

Background The infant fecal microbiome is known to impact subsequent asthma risk, but the
environmental exposures impacting this association, the role of the maternal microbiome …

In mice, the maternal microbiome influences fetal immune development and postnatal
allergic outcomes. Westernized populations have high rates of allergic disease and low …
