Core Tip	This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the complex ecosystem of intestinal microbiota and its role in regulating intestinal barrier function and a few common pediatric diseases. There is increasingly recognition that the stimulation of initial intestinal microbial colonization is important for proper maturation of the innate immune system and continued regulation and maintenance of intestinal barrier function. Disruption of the establishment of a stable normal gut microflora may contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases including inflammatory bowel disease, nosocomial infection, and neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants.
