Establishment of normal gut microbiota is compromised under excessive hygiene conditions.

<h4>Background</h4>Early gut colonization events are purported to have a major impact on the incidence of infectious, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in later life. Hence, factors which influence this process may have important implications for both human and animal health. Previous...
