Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of a prebiotic mixture (SCGOS/LCFOS) in influencing gut bacteria in very premature infants exclusively fed human milk.
- Conducted as a double-center randomized trial, 50 preterm infants were divided into two groups: one received prebiotics via tube feeding, while the other group did not.
- Results showed significant differences in fecal microbiota patterns, with the prebiotic group having fewer pathogenic coliforms and a shorter hospital stay, suggesting that prebiotics might enhance beneficial bacteria growth when combined with human milk.
Prebiotics for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm neonates.

Objective: We evaluated if prebiotics have benefits for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm neonates.
Methods: Preterm neonates were entered into the study when enteral feeding volume met 30 mL/kg/day. They randomly received a mixture of short-chain galacto-oligosacarids/long-chain fructo-oligosacarids or distilled water (placebo) for 1 week.
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most destructive diseases associated with conditions of neonatal prematurity. Supplementation with enteral prebiotics may reduce the incidence of NEC, especially in infants who fed exclusively with breast-milk. Therefore, we compared the efficacy and safety of enteral supplementation of a prebiotic mixture (short chain galacto-oligosaccharides/long chain fructo-oligosaccharides [SCGOS/LCFOS]) versus no intervention on incidence of NEC in preterm infants.
