...Early life gutmicrobial alterations not only are limited to shifts in the prevalence of gut microbes (10, 11) but also include changes in the production ofmicrobial-derivedmetabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (13) and othermetabolites that interactwith host immune cells (13–15)....
