Restricting microbial exposure in early life negates the immune benefits associated with gut colonization in environments of high microbial diversity.

Restricting microbial exposure in early life negates the immune benefits associated with gut colonization in environments of high microbial diversity.

<h4>Background</h4>Acquisition of the intestinal microbiota in early life corresponds with the development of the mucosal immune system. Recent work on caesarean-delivered infants revealed that early microbial composition is influenced by birthing method and environment. Furthermore, we...
