| description | © 2020 Durack and Christophersen. Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics.
Human gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts are colonized by diverse polymicrobial
communities shortly after birth, which are continuously molded by environmental
exposure. The development of the resident microbiota in early life is a critical factor in
the maturation of a healthy immune system. Disturbances to the intricate relationship
between environmental exposure and maturation of the infant microbiome have been
increasingly identified as a potential contributor to a range of childhood diseases.
This review details recent evidence that implicates the contribution of gut and airway
microbiome to pediatric respiratory health. |
