Potential association of vacuum cleaning frequency with an altered gut microbiota in pregnant women and their 2-year-old children

Bacteria showing significant associations are among the dominant gut microbiota, which may indicate indirect immunomodulation of the gut microbiota possibly through increased allergen (dust mites) exposure as a potential mechanism. However, further exploration is needed to unveil mechanistic details.
