PRACTALL is a joint initiative of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) with the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) to provide shared evidence-based recommendations on cutting-edge topics in the field of allergy and immunologyPRACTALL 2017 is focused on what has been established regarding the role of the microbiome in asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy. This is complemented by outlining important knowledge gaps regarding its role in allergic disease and delineating strategies necessary to fill these gaps. In addition, a review of progress in approaches used to manipulate the microbiome will be addressed, identifying what has and has not worked to serve as a baseline for future directions to intervene in allergic disease development and/or progression.
