PREMIPLA project : the effect of antenatal Prebiotics supplementation on Microbiota in Placenta in the context of allergy prevention
Immunity & Allergy
Bodinier M., INRA, France, 2019
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is the earliest and the most common manifestation of allergies. Recent studies have shown that allergies were associated with a disruption of the gut microbial ‘balance’ suggesting that the use of nutritional intervention very early in life may restore an optimal pattern of microflora aiming at improving the host’s health.

Schwab C. et al, ETH Zürich, Kispi Zurich, Ostschweizer Kinderspital, Switzerland, 2018
Gut microbiota development is impacted by mode of delivery, diet, lifestyle and environmental parameters such as closeness to animals. These parameters impact gut microbiota composition and have been linked to allergy protective effects (‘Microbiota hypothesis’).
