Composition and Associations of the Infant Gut Fungal Microbiota with Environmental Factors and Childhood Allergic Outcomes
Abstract
Although often neglected in gut microbiota studies, recent evidence suggests that imbalanced, or dysbiotic, gut mycobiota (fungal microbiota) communities in infancy coassociate with states of bacterial dysbiosis linked to inflammatory diseases such as asthma. In the present study, we (i) characterized the infant gut mycobiota at 3 months and 1 year of age in 343 infants from the CHILD Cohort Study, (ii) defined associations among gut mycobiota …
