Allergic diseases exclusively affect tissues that face environmental challenges and harbor endogenous bacterial microbiota. The microbes inhabiting the affected tissues may not be mere bystanders in this process but actively affect the risk of allergic sensitization, disease development, and exacerbation or abatement of symptoms. Experimental evidence provides several plausible means by which the human microbiota could influence the development of allergic diseases including, but not limited to, effects on antigen presentation and induction of tolerance and allergen permeation by endorsing or disrupting epithelial barrier integrity. Epidemiological evidence attests to the significance of age-appropriate, nonpathogenic microbiota development in skin, gastrointestinal tract, and airways for protection against allergic disease development. Thus, there exist potential targets for preventive actions either in the prenatal or postnatal period. These could include maternal dietary interventions, antibiotic stewardship for both the mother and infant, reducing elective cesarean deliveries, and understanding barriers to breastfeeding and timing of food diversification. In here, we will review the current understanding and evidence of allergy-associated human microbiota patterns, their role in the development of allergic diseases, and how we could harness these associations to our benefit against allergies.
