The microbiota is a driving force that influences host physiological functions. In this review, we discuss some of the methods that have been used in the pursuit of relevant host–microbiota interactions that control immune fitness and disease susceptibility, with a focus on dirty mice which have been recently incorporated in the immunologist's toolkit.
