Abstract
INTRODUCTION A large proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience IBD-related inflammatory conditions outside of the gastrointestinal tract, termed extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) which further decreases quality of life and, in extreme cases, can be life threatening. The pathogenesis of EIMs remains unknown, and although gut microbiota alterations are a well-known characteristic of patients with IBD, its relationship with EIMs remains sparsely investigated. This study aimed to compare the gut microbiota of patients with IBD with and without EIMs. METHODS A total of 131 Danish patients with IBD were included in the study, of whom 86 had a history of EIMs (IBD-EIM) and 45 did not (IBD-C). Stool samples underwent 16S rRNA sequencing. Amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were mapped to the Silva database. Diversity indices and distance matrices were compared between IBD-EIM and IBD-C. Differentially abundant ASVs were identified using a custom multiple model statistical analysis approach, and modules of co-associated bacteria were identified using sparse correlations for compositional data (SparCC) and related to patient EIM status. RESULTS Patients with IBD and EIMs exhibited increased disease activity, body mass index, increased fecal calprotectin levels and circulating monocytes and neutrophils. Microbiologically, IBD-EIM exhibited lower fecal microbial diversity than IBD-C (Mann-Whitney's test, p = .01) and distinct fecal microbiota composition (permutational multivariate analysis of variance; weighted UniFrac, R2 = 0.018, p = .01). A total of 26 ASVs exhibited differential relative abundances between IBD-EIM and IBD-C, including decreased Agathobacter and Blautia and increased Eggerthella lenta in the IBD-EIM group. SparCC analysis identified 27 bacterial co-association modules, three of which were negatively related to EIM (logistic regression, p < .05) and included important health-associated bacteria, such as Agathobacter and Faecalibacterium. CONCLUSIONS The fecal microbiota in IBD patients with EIMs is distinct from that in IBD patients without EIM and could be important for EIM pathogenesis.

Abstract
Caesarean section scar diverticulum (CSD) is a significant cause of infertility among women who have previously had a Caesarean section, primarily due to persistent inflammatory exudation associated with this condition. Even though abnormal bacterial composition is identified as a critical factor leading to this chronic inflammation, clinical data suggest that a long-term cure is often unattainable with antibiotic treatment alone. In our study, we employed metagenomic analysis and mass spectrometry techniques to investigate the fungal composition in CSD and its interaction with bacteria. We discovered that local fungal abnormalities in CSD can disrupt the stability of the bacterial population and the entire microbial community by altering bacterial abundance via specific metabolites. For instance, Lachnellula suecica reduces the abundance of several Lactobacillus spp., such as Lactobacillus jensenii, by diminishing the production of metabolites like Goyaglycoside A and Janthitrem E. Concurrently, Clavispora lusitaniae and Ophiocordyceps australis can synergistically impact the abundance of Lactobacillus spp. by modulating metabolite abundance. Our findings underscore that abnormal fungal composition and activity are key drivers of local bacterial dysbiosis in CSD.

Abstract
The microbiome is a complex ecosystem comprising microbes, their genomes, and the surrounding environment. The microbiome plays a critical role in early human development, including maturation of the host immune system and gastrointestinal tract. Multiple factors, including diet, anti-biotic use, and other environmental exposures, influence the establishment of the microbiome during infancy. Numerous studies have identified associations between the microbiome and neonatal diseases, including necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, and malnutrition. Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that perturbation of the microbiome in early life can have lasting developmental effects that increase an individual's risk for immune and metabolic diseases in later life. Supplementation of the microbiome with probiotics reduces the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis and sepsis in at-risk infants. This review focuses on the structure and function of the infant microbiome, the environmental and clinical factors that influence its assembly, and its impact on infant health and development.

Abstract
The last decade of microbiome research has highlighted its fundamental role in systemic immune and metabolic homeostasis. The microbiome plays a prominent role during gestation and into early life, when maternal lifestyle factors shape immune development of the newborn. Breast milk further shapes gut colonization, supporting the development of tolerance to commensal bacteria and harmless antigens while preventing outgrowth of pathogens. Environmental microbial and lifestyle factors that disrupt this process can dysregulate immune homeostasis, predisposing infants to atopic disease and childhood asthma. In health, the low-biomass lung microbiome, together with inhaled environmental microbial constituents, establishes the immunological set point that is necessary to maintain pulmonary immune defense. However, in disease perturbations to immunological and physiological processes allow the upper respiratory tract to act as a reservoir of pathogenic bacteria, which can colonize the diseased lung and cause severe inflammation. Studying these host-microbe interactions in respiratory diseases holds great promise to stratify patients for suitable treatment regimens and biomarker discovery to predict disease progression. Preclinical studies show that commensal gut microbes are in a constant flux of cell division and death, releasing microbial constituents, metabolic by-products, and vesicles that shape the immune system and can protect against respiratory diseases. The next major advances may come from testing and utilizing these microbial factors for clinical benefit and exploiting the predictive power of the microbiome by employing multiomics analysis approaches.

Abstract
The early-life period is one of microbiome establishment and immune maturation. Early-life exposures are increasingly being recognised to play an important role in IBD risk. The composition of functions of the gut microbiome in the prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal period may be crucial towards development of health or disease, including IBD, later in life. We herein present a comprehensive summary of the interplay between early-life factors and microbiome perturbations, and their association with risk of IBD. In addition, we provide an overview of host and external factors in early life that are known to impact gut microbiome maturation and exposures implicated in IBD risk. Considering the emerging concept of IBD prevention, we propose strategies to minimise maternal and offspring exposure to potentially harmful variables and recommend protective measures during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This holistic view of early-life factors and microbiome signatures among mothers and their offspring will help frame our current understanding of their importance towards IBD pathogenesis and frame the roadmap for preventive strategies.

Abstract
Early life gut microbiome composition has been correlated with childhood obesity, though microbial functional contributions to disease origins remain unclear. Here, using an infant birth cohort (n = 349) we identify a distinct fecal microbiota composition in 1-month-old infants with the lowest rate of exclusive breastfeeding, that relates with higher relative risk for obesity and overweight phenotypes at two years. Higher-risk infant fecal microbiomes exhibited accelerated taxonomic and functional maturation and broad-ranging metabolic reprogramming, including reduced concentrations of neuro-endocrine signals. In vitro, exposure of enterocytes to fecal extracts from higher-risk infants led to upregulation of genes associated with obesity and with expansion of nutrient sensing enteroendocrine progenitor cells. Fecal extracts from higher-risk infants also promoted enterocyte barrier dysfunction. These data implicate dysregulation of infant microbiome functional development, and more specifically promotion of enteroendocrine signaling and epithelial barrier impairment in the early-life developmental origins of childhood obesity.

Abstract
Dysbiosis of the neonatal gut microbiome during early life has been suggested as the missing link that may explain higher rates of certain diseases in caesarean section-delivered infants. Many studies report delivery mode-related dysbiosis in infants due to a lack of maternal vaginal microbiome exposure, prompting interventions to correct the neonatal gut microbiome by transferring these missing microbes after caesarean delivery. The maternal vaginal microbiome is among the first microbial exposures that many infants experience, yet little is known about the extent of direct transmission of maternal vaginal microbes. As part of the Maternal Microbiome Legacy Project, we aimed to determine if maternal vaginal bacteria are vertically transmitted to infants. We employed cpn60 microbiome profiling, culture-based screening, molecular strain typing, and whole-genome sequencing to determine whether identical maternal vaginal strains were present in infant stool microbiomes. We identified identical cpn60 sequence variants in both halves of maternal-infant dyads in 204 of 585 Canadian women and their newborn infants (38.9%). The same species of Bifidobacterium and Enterococcus were cultured from maternal and corresponding infant samples in 33 and 13 of these mother-infant dyads, respectively. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and whole-genome sequencing determined that near-identical strains were detected in these dyads irrespective of delivery mode, indicating an alternative source in cases of caesarean delivery. Overall, we demonstrated that vertical transmission of maternal vaginal microbiota is likely limited and that transmission from other maternal body sites, such as the gut and breast milk, may compensate for the lack of maternal vaginal microbiome exposure during caesarean delivery. IMPORTANCE The importance of the gut microbiome in human health and disease is widely recognized, and there has been a growing appreciation that alterations in gut microbiome composition during a "critical window" of development may impact health in later life. Attempts to correct gut microbiome dysbiosis related to birth mode are underpinned by the assumption that the lack of exposure to maternal vaginal microbes during caesarean delivery is responsible for dysbiosis. Here, we demonstrate that there is limited transmission of the maternal vaginal microbiome to the neonatal gut, even in cases of vaginal delivery. Furthermore, the presence of identical strains shared between mothers and infants in early life, even in cases of caesarean delivery, highlights compensatory microbial exposures and sources for the neonatal stool microbiome other than the maternal vagina.

Abstract
Allergic diseases, which are closely related to the composition and metabolism of maternal and infant flora, are prevalent in infants worldwide. The mother's breast milk, intestinal, and vaginal flora directly or indirectly influence the development of the infant's immune system from pregnancy to lactation, and the compositional and functional alterations of maternal flora are associated with allergic diseases in infants. Meanwhile, the infant's own flora, represented by the intestinal flora, indicates and regulates the occurrence of allergic diseases and is altered with the intervention of allergic diseases. By searching and selecting relevant literature in PubMed from 2010 to 2023, the mechanisms of allergy development in infants and the links between maternal and infant flora and infant allergic diseases are reviewed, including the effects of flora composition and its consequences on infant metabolism. The critical role of maternal and infant flora in allergic diseases has provided a window for probiotics as a microbial therapy. Therefore, the uses and mechanisms by which probiotics, such as lactic acid bacteria, can help to improve the homeostasis of both the mother and the infant, and thereby treat allergies, are also described.

Abstract
Gut microbes and their metabolites are actively involved in the development and regulation of host immunity, which can influence disease susceptibility. Herein, we review the most recent research advancements in the gut microbiota-immune axis. We discuss in detail how the gut microbiota is a tipping point for neonatal immune development as indicated by newly uncovered phenomenon, such as maternal imprinting, in utero intestinal metabolome, and weaning reaction. We describe how the gut microbiota shapes both innate and adaptive immunity with emphasis on the metabolites short-chain fatty acids and secondary bile acids. We also comprehensively delineate how disruption in the microbiota-immune axis results in immune-mediated diseases, such as gastrointestinal infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, cardiometabolic disorders (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension), autoimmunity (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), hypersensitivity (e.g., asthma and allergies), psychological disorders (e.g., anxiety), and cancer (e.g., colorectal and hepatic). We further encompass the role of fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary polyphenols in reshaping the gut microbiota and their therapeutic potential. Continuing, we examine how the gut microbiota modulates immune therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and anti-TNF therapies. We lastly mention the current challenges in metagenomics, germ-free models, and microbiota recapitulation to a achieve fundamental understanding for how gut microbiota regulates immunity. Altogether, this review proposes improving immunotherapy efficacy from the perspective of microbiome-targeted interventions.

Abstract
The prevalence of food allergies continues to rise, and with limited existing therapeutic options there is a growing need for new and innovative treatments. Food allergies are, in a large part, related to environmental influences on immune tolerance in early life, and represent a significant therapeutic challenge. An expanding body of evidence on molecular mechanisms in murine models and microbiome associations in humans have highlighted the critical role of gut dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of food allergies. As such, the gut microbiome is a rational target for novel strategies aimed at preventing and treating food allergies, and new methods of modifying the gastrointestinal microbiome to combat immune dysregulation represent promising avenues for translation to future clinical practice. In this review, we discuss the intersection between the gut microbiome and the development of food allergies, with particular focus on microbiome therapeutic strategies. These emerging microbiome approaches to food allergies are subject to continued investigation and include dietary interventions, pre- and probiotics, microbiota metabolism-based interventions, and targeted live biotherapeutics. This exciting frontier may reveal disease-modifying food allergy treatments, and deserves careful study through ongoing clinical trials.
