Fig 1 The microbiota of allergic diseases. Environmental exposures alter bacterial diversity and increase inflammation. The result is tissue and gut dysbiosis with decreased bacterial diversity and changes in the microbiome of target organs. The alterations in normal flora likely interact with increased inflammation to alter patient phenotypes, such as disease response.
