Could Probiotics Be a ‘Vaccine’ for Childhood Asthma?

Asthma Bacteria Link STM

C. Bickel – Science Translational Medicine

Could probiotics prevent childhood asthma?

OK, that’s a leap, but it is one of the hypotheses researchers will test following the results of a new study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Studies show that babies who were NOT breastfed, who WERE born cesarean or who WERE given antibiotics in the first year of life are all more likely to develop childhood asthma.

The common denominator is the lack of exposure to certain helpful bacteria that is present in breastmilk and in the vaginal canal.

Researchers have now identified four types of helpful bacteria specifically linked to asthma. The hope is that the findings will enable researchers to develop a test—and possibly a cure—for childhood asthma.
