The wealth of microbiome studies has expanded due to recent advances in sequencing technologies. Difficult to culture microbes can now be profiled during different disease states. Every organ system has been shown to be directly impacted by the microbiome and in turn the microbiome is impacted by the health of the host. During allergic disease, the immune system of the organism and microbiome can be altered in both the lung and gastrointestinal tract.
