• Probiotics and prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides in the prevention of allergic diseases: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. (2007, background): “In epidemiologic studies the presence of fewer lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the neonatal gut flora preceded the development of atopic diseases.(3) Our TABLE I.”

• The First Microbial Colonizers of the Human Gut: Composition, Activities, and Health Implications of the Infant Gut Microbiota (2017, background): “More than a decade ago, pioneering analyses already reported microbiota alterations at an early age in infants who subsequently developed atopic diseases (283, 306).”

• The composition of the gut microbiota throughout life, with an emphasis on early life (2015, background): “In addition, some studies have found evidence for early Clostridium difficile colonization as a risk factor for later allergy development (151, 153, 165, 166).”
• Effects of Supplementation of Probiotics on the Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Faecal Microflora in Growing-finishing Pigs (2011, positive): “Some studies have suggested that administration with different microbes in early life can alter the composition of gut flora during the first weeks of life and have an impact on health in later life (Björkstén et al., 2001; Kero et al., 2002).”
• Reduced diversity of the intestinal microbiota during infancy is associated with increased risk of allergic disease at school age. (2011, result): “Combining the phenotypes of atopic dermatitis and sensitization in 2 studies also suggested differences in the composition of intestinal flora preceding such a phenotype.(37,38) A number of case-control studies of intestinal flora in infants(39,40) and older children(41,42) suggested associations be”
