Abstract
Asthma is an increasingly prevalent chronic respiratory disease particularly affecting children. Microbial colonization during early life has emerged as a central factor influencing asthma susceptibility. A recently published prospective study links the reduction in relative abundance of 4 bacterial genera at 3 months of age to the development of asthma.
