Gut Microbiome Signatures in Pediatric Food Allergy: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications

Abstract

We characterized gut microbiome signatures in 850 children with IgE-mediated food allergies using shotgun metagenomics. A ML classifier based on 15 bacterial species achieved 91.3% accuracy in predicting food allergy status.
