The breast milk microbiota has been described as a source of bacteria for infant gut colonisation. We studied the effect of CECT5716 (Lc40) on growth and infection incidence of the infants, when the probiotic is administrated to the mothers. Moreover, whether such effects might depend on the interaction between the mother or infant microbiota and the probiotic administration.

This was a controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study on 172 oocytes from 11 women. The study compared the effect of two MYO-DCI formulations given over 12 weeks on OQ.

This was a multicenter controlled, randomized, double-blind parallel group study with two MYO-DCI formulations for 12 weeks. The study group (SG) was administered 550 mg of MYO + 150 mg of DCI twice daily; the control group (CG) was administered 550 mg of MYO + 13.

The microbiological approach has included Streptococcus mutans as one of the bacterial species involved in this disease. This research investigates the inhibitory effects of heat-inactivated Lactobacillus salivarius CECT 5713 against S.

The objective of the present study is the evaluation of three different doses of Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 to reduce the load of Staphylococcus in the breastmilk of women suffering from painful breastfeeding.
Materials And Methods: A randomized double-blinded controlled study with four study groups was performed.
