Abstract

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in dairy allergy development through immune modulation involving genes like IL-10 and IL-22. This study presents a comprehensive Bibliometric analysis of gut microbiota and dairy allergy research across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus (2015-2025). This analysis examined publication trends, Research hotspots, and collaborations among various countries, organisations, and authors. A total of 784 documents were analysed using cooccurrence networks for thematic mapping and co-authorship networks for collaborative patterns by employing VOS viewer and Biblioshiny in R Studio. Three dominant research clusters were related to immunological mechanisms involving IL-10/IL-22 regulation, diagnostic advancements using metagenomics, and therapeutic and dietary interventions using probiotics. The USA, China, and European nations emerged as leading contributors with exponential growth post-2020. Current trends highlight the microbiome-targeted therapies, including longitudinal microbiome studies and personalized nutrition approaches. The overall analysis provides a roadmap for future research, emphasizing the need for clinical trials combining multi-omics data with microbiota modulating strategies. The bibliometric framework provides a way for future research prioritization and policy development.
