• Eosinophils: changing perspectives in health and disease (2012, background): “Likewise, a large prospective study involving over 400 healthy infants 73 concluded that individuals with greater bacte rial diversity in the gastrointestinal tract had a lower risk of developing allergic sensitization later in life.”
• Early life antibiotic‐driven changes in microbiota enhance susceptibility to allergic asthma (2012, neutral): “There is evidence that reduced diversity in the infant gut microbiota correlates with increased risk of allergic disorders [26].”
• The composition of the gut microbiota throughout life, with an emphasis on early life (2015, methodology): “The diversity within specific microbial phyla or genera cannot be identified with these types of molecular methods, however, and the sensitivity appears low as the median number of peaks/bands was much lower than the expected number of bacterial species (154, 155, 157, 159).”
