In a study of 233 children (mean age 6 years) with IgE-mediated food allergy and 58 age-matched controls, Prevotella was the most overrepresented species in non-allergic controls, and there was evidence of Prevotella copri abundance being lowest in children with peanut allergy.

The gut microbiome from 21 children with IgE-mediated allergic disease and 72 controls was assessed at 6 months, 13 months, and 8 years. The abundance of Prevotella was underrepresented in allergic children at all time points.
