Dietary prebiotics promote intestinal *Prevotella* in association with a low-responding phenotype in a murine oxazolone-induced model of atopic dermatitis

A. Laigaard, L. Krych, et al.

This study, conducted by Ann Laigaard and colleagues, reveals how xylooligosaccharide (XOS) can significantly reduce dermatitis responses and enhance gut microbiota composition in a murine model. With better gut health linked to higher *Prevotella* spp. levels, this research opens doors for innovative microbiota-targeted therapies in allergy management.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the prebiotic xylooligosaccharide (XOS) on gut microbiota and ear inflammation in a murine model of oxazolone-induced atopic dermatitis. Mice fed an XOS-supplemented diet showed significantly fewer high responders to dermatitis compared to controls. XOS-fed mice also exhibited higher abundances of *Prevotella* spp. in their gut microbiota. A strong association between the low-responding phenotype and high *Prevotella* abundance suggests an anti-inflammatory role for this bacterium in allergic sensitization, highlighting it as a potential target for microbiota-directed therapies.
