Which microbiota? What are the dietary implications?

Are you asking about the abstract I put in another comment? The authors labeled Tregs in the gut and saw them appear at the site of injuries; disabling them early (by a genetic knockout or antibiotics) impeded proper healing. You can draw your own dietary conclusions, whether that be eating healthy foods or probiotics; the paper just pointed to oral antibiotics as potentially hazardous.

What does this mean: "microbiota-dependent Treg cells" - how do we know they are microbiota dependent? Is there any information about this? Is it merely inferred from the negative correlation to antibiotics?
