Intestinal microbiota covers the set of commensal microorganisms that live together with the individual. The intrauterine programming and further colonization are determining factors in maturation of the immune system. With the purpose of expanding our knowledge on the effect of the intestinal microbiota in the child´s immune system maturation, a literature review was made supported on Google, Medline databases and the Infomed health information searcher and using intestinal microbiota, immune system, gut microbiota as subject headings.

Keywords : intestinal microbiota; immune system; immune maturation.
