All other studies appeared to be free from other potential sources of bias. Effects of interventions Probiotics versus control Four studies investigated the effect of probiotic administration versus no probiotic (control group) [39–42]. Primary outcomes: short term growth parameters Weight gain All ...
Genomic characterization and probiotic potential of Lactobacillus casei IDCC 3451 isolated from infant fecesProbioticsWhole genome sequencingSafety assessmentProbiotics play an important role in health benefits on the host. However, they also possess potentials for infectivity or in situ toxin production; ...
Infant fecesLactic acid bacteriaAntimicrobial activityProbioticsIn this study, we aimed to characterize lactic acid bacteria strains derived from infants' feces, to evaluate the probiotic potential and explore the wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Of 800 isolates, 20 inhibited the growth of ...
antibiotic resistant strains of the mother could have an effect on the developing infant gut resistome through transfer of resistant bacteria. However, it seems that some of the resistance genes could be transferred from other maternal body sites besides gut or breast milk or from non-maternal sou...
In this case, parents can supplement with an infant probiotic formulation — talk to your pharmacist to find out what’s best. For more on beneficial bacteria, see All About Probiotics. Fluids & hydration The amount of fluid in breast milk or formula will usually be enough, so normally you...
and Chen, S.W. (2015) Characterization and in vitro properties of potential probiotic Bifidobacterium strains isolated from breast-fed infant feces. Ann Microbiol. doi:10.1007/s13213-015- 1187-x.
The diversity, genetic variations, and carbon utilization preference and capacity of the isolates were further analyzed. The long-term goal of this study was to provide guidance for probiotic intervention in the programming of infant gut microbiota, so as to improve human health....
Intestinal inflammation was indexed by measuring infant fecal calprotectin levels. A commercial ELISA kit (Phical; CALPRO AS) was used, with the protocol adjusted for use on freeze-dried infant feces75. Calprotectin levels were also binned into three categories based on previously developed clinical ...
21 Building on these important clinical observations, we aimed to explore the gut microbiota composition and fecal metabolome in these preterm infants receiving routine probiotic supplementation compared to preterm infants from NICUs not using probiotic supplementation. Thus, we carried out an observational...
All randomized controlled trials (RCTs), irrespective of language, which compared the use of preterm infant formula containing probiotic(s) or prebiotic(s) to conventional preterm infant formula without or with placebo amongst preterm infants born <37 weeks gestation, low birth weight infants with ...
