Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rural children have a lower risk of asthma and atopic diseases than urban children. However, whether indoor microbiota in non-farming rural homes provides protection is unclear. METHODS Here, we examine if microbes in the beds of rural and urban infants are associated with later development of atopic diseases. We studied fungi and bacteria in the beds of 6-month-old infants (n = 514) in association with the risk of asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema and aeroallergen sensitization at 6 years of age in the prospective COPSAC2010 cohort. RESULTS Both fungal and bacterial diversity were lower in the beds of children, who later developed allergic rhinitis (-0.22 [-0.43,-0.01], padj = .04 and -.24 [-0.42,-0.05], padj = .01 respectively) and lower bacterial richness was discovered in beds of children later developing asthma (-41.34 [-76.95,-5.73], padj = .02) or allergic rhinitis (-45.65 [-81.19,-10.10], padj = .01). Interestingly, higher fungal diversity and richness were discovered in the beds of children developing eczema (0.23 [0.02,0.43], padj = .03 and 29.21 [1.59,56.83], padj = .04 respectively). We defined a limited set of fungal and bacterial genera that predicted rural/urban environment. Some rural-associated bacterial genera such as Romboutsia and Bacillus and fungal genera Spegazzinia and Physcia were also associated with reduced risk of diseases, including eczema. These fungal and bacterial fingerprints predicting the living environment were associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis, but not eczema, with rural compositions being protective. The bed dust bacteria mediated 27% of the protective association of a rural living environment for allergic rhinitis (p = .04). CONCLUSIONS Bed dust microbes can be differentially associated with airway- and skin-related diseases. The differing bed dust microbiota between rural and urban infants may influence their later risk of asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
The gut microbiome is shaped through infancy and impacts the maturation of the immune system, thus protecting against chronic disease later in life. Phages, or viruses that infect bacteria, modulate bacterial growth by lysis and lysogeny, with the latter being especially prominent in the infant gut. Viral metagenomes (viromes) are difficult to analyse because they span uncharted viral diversity, lacking marker genes and standardized detection methods. Here we systematically resolved the viral diversity in faecal viromes from 647 1-year-olds belonging to Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood 2010, an unselected Danish cohort of healthy mother-child pairs. By assembly and curation we uncovered 10,000 viral species from 248 virus family-level clades (VFCs). Most (232 VFCs) were previously unknown, belonging to the Caudoviricetes viral class. Hosts were determined for 79% of phage using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat spacers within bacterial metagenomes from the same children. Typical Bacteroides-infecting crAssphages were outnumbered by undescribed phage families infecting Clostridiales and Bifidobacterium. Phage lifestyles were conserved at the viral family level, with 33 virulent and 118 temperate phage families. Virulent phages were more abundant, while temperate ones were more prevalent and diverse. Together, the viral families found in this study expand existing phage taxonomy and provide a resource aiding future infant gut virome research.

Abstract
There have been reports of associations between cesarean section delivery and the risk of childhood asthma, potentially mediated through changes in the gut microbiota. We followed 700 children in the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood2010 (COPSAC2010) cohort prospectively from birth. We examined the effects of cesarean section delivery on gut microbial composition by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing during the first year of life. We then explored whether gut microbial perturbations due to delivery mode were associated with a risk of developing asthma in the first 6 years of life. Delivery by cesarean section was accompanied by marked changes in gut microbiota composition at one week and one month of age, but by one year of age only minor differences persisted compared to vaginal delivery. Increased asthma risk was found in children born by cesarean section only if their gut microbiota composition at 1 year of age still retained a cesarean section microbial signature, suggesting that appropriate maturation of the gut microbiota could mitigate against the increased asthma risk associated with gut microbial changes due to cesarean section delivery.

Abstract
Rationale: Childhood asthma is often preceded by recurrent episodes of asthma-like symptoms, which can be triggered by both viral and bacterial agents. Recent randomized controlled trials have shown that azithromycin treatment reduces episode duration and severity through yet undefined mechanisms. Objectives: To study the influence of the airway microbiota on the effect of azithromycin treatment during acute episodes of asthma-like symptoms. Methods: Children from the COPSAC2010 (Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood 2010) cohort with recurrent asthma-like symptoms aged 12-36 months were randomized during acute episodes to azithromycin or placebo as previously reported. Before randomization, hypopharyngeal aspirates were collected and examined by 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing. Measurements and Main Results: In 139 airway samples from 68 children, episode duration after randomization was associated with microbiota richness (7.5% increased duration per 10 additional operational taxonomic units [OTUs]; 95% confidence interval, 1-14%; P = 0.025), with 15 individual OTUs (including several Neisseria and Veillonella), and with microbial pneumotypes defined from weighted UniFrac distances (longest durations in a Neisseria-dominated pneumotype). Microbiota richness before treatment increased the effect of azithromycin by 10% per 10 additional OTUs, and more OTUs were positively versus negatively associated with an increased azithromycin effect (82 vs. 58; P = 0.0032). Furthermore, effect modification of azithromycin was found for five individual OTUs (three OTUs increased and two OTUs decreased the effect; q < 0.05). Conclusions: The airway microbiota in acute episodes of asthma-like symptoms is associated with episode duration and modifies the effect of azithromycin treatment of the episodes in preschool children with recurrent asthma-like symptoms. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01233297).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urbanization is linked with an increased burden of asthma and atopic traits. A putative mechanism is insufficient exposure to beneficial microbes early in life, leading to immune dysregulation, as was previously shown for indoor microbial exposures. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to investigate whether urbanization is associated with the microbiota composition in the infants' body and early immune function, and whether these contribute to the later risk of asthma and atopic traits. METHODS We studied the prospective Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood 20102010 mother-child cohort of 700 children growing up in areas with different degrees of urbanization. During their first year of life, airway and gut microbiotas, as well as immune marker concentrations, were defined. When the children were 6 years of age, asthma and atopic traits were diagnosed by pediatricians. RESULTS In adjusted analyses, the risk of asthma and aeroallergen sensitization were increased in urban infants. The composition of especially airway but also gut microbiotas differed between urban and rural infants. The living environment-related structure of the airway microbiota was already associated with immune mediator concentrations at 1 month of age. An urbanized structure of the airway and gut microbiotas was associated with an increased risk of asthma coherently during multiple time points and also with the risks of eczema and sensitization. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that urbanization-related changes in the infant microbiota may elevate the risk of asthma and atopic traits, probably via cross talk with the developing immune system. The airways may facilitate this effect, as they are open for colonization by environmental airborne microbes and serve as an immune interface.
