Microbial colonization during early life plays a relevant role in healthy immune and metabolic development of an infant. Until now, research has been focused on studying the role of gut bacterial communities in the health outcomes of infants, and little is known regarding the role of colonizing fungi (the mycobiome) in the first months of life. A recent study, led…

Research in the gut microbiome field has usually only focused on resident bacteria and the related bacterial-host interactions. However, emerging scientific evidence suggests that studying the human fungal community (called mycobiome) could help us better understand the role of the microbiome in health and disease, specifically in inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases. A recent review article, led by Dr. Christopher L. Hager…
