Effects of Live and Heat‐Treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT 7347 in Adults With Allergic Rhinitis: A Randomised, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial evaluated the effects of live probiotic and HT postbiotic B. longum CECT 7347 in adults with moderate–severe allergic rhinitis. Postbiotic supplementation for 8 weeks significantly reduced CSMS and dSS, exceeding the established CSMS MCID with a 33% greater improvement, when compared to placebo ...

Maternal Prebiotic Supplementation Modifies Associations Between Intrapartum Antibiotics and Infant Allergy

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study examined whether antibiotic use altered the risk of infant allergic disease within a maternal prebiotics supplementation trial. Intrapartum antibiotics were maternal antibiotics administered during childbirth, from the onset of labour or induction until 1‐h before delivery.

Vaginal Lactobacillus crispatus persistence following application of a live biotherapeutic product: colonization phenotypes and genital immune impact

Microbiome
Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases HIV acquisition risk, potentially by eliciting genital inflammation. After BV treatment, the vaginal administration of LACTIN-V, a live biotherapeutic containing the Lactobacillus crispatus strain CTV-05 ...

The External Exposome and Food Allergy: How Environmental Exposures Shape Disease Risk

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgE‐mediated food allergy is a global health issue with rising prevalence that cannot be explained by genetic change alone, strongly suggesting that environmental exposures are a key driver. The external exposome encompasses several exposures that influence the developing immune system and modify food allergy risk.
