Objectives: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) remote from term is an important obstetric cause of maternal and fetal adverse outcomes. The aim of our study is to examine the efficacy of ampicillin and Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus treatment in cases of PPROM remote from term.
Material And Methods: The study was carried out by examining the results of cases who were given Ampicillin and Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus treatment. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 who didn't develop clinical chorioamnionitis and Group 2 who developed clinical chorioamnionitis. Obstetric characteristics, neonatal outcomes, adverse events were recorded.
Results: A total of 46 pregnant women, 40 in Group 1 and six in Group 2, were included in the study. The frequency of clinical chorioamnionitis developing during the treatment was found to be 13.0%. Mean gestational age at diagnosis was 28.43 ± 2.38 and 28.17 ± 1.33 for Groups 1 and Group 2, respectively. Mean gestational age at the time of delivery was 32.38 ± 2.07 31.33 ± 1.63 for Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. The mean latency period for Group 1 and Group 2 was 27.45 ± 1.71 days, 23.66 ± 4.53, respectively. Sepsis developed in six newborns (15%) in Group 1, while it developed in three newborns (50%) in Group 2. While 90% of the babies in Group 1 were discharged from the hospital, this rate was 66.7% in Group 2.
Conclusions: Ampicillin + Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus is an effective treatment method in PPROM cases and positively affects perinatal outcomes.

is a gram-positive bacterium commonly found in dairy products and used as a probiotic due to its resistance to acid and bile. While generally considered safe, rare cases of bacteremia and endocarditis have been reported, primarily in individuals with significant risk factors. This report discusses an elderly male with a history of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and asthma, who developed bacteremia and endocarditis after consuming large quantities of Greek yogurt.

Background: Breast milk is a natural treasure for infants, and its microbiota contains a rich array of bacterial species. When breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula with probiotics can be used as a sole source or as a breast milk supplement. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the growth outcomes and tolerance of infants consuming an infant formula containing Bifidobacterium animalis ssp.

Background: Probiotics are synthetic oral supplements containing live bacterial and fungal species hypothesized to help with various gastrointestinal conditions. However, they can cause infection if the organism spreads outside of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to identify and describe patients who experienced systemic infections caused by probiotic use.

Administration of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccines with appropriate booster doses through painful injections under clinical supervision was challenging during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. As an alternative solution, we designed a safer, edible probiotic yogurt vaccine prototype (YoVac) that can be orally consumed by circumventing painful injections and clinical supervision. We hypothesized that YoVac prepared using Lactobacillus carrying an antigen coding gene (donor) can transfer the same to other bacteria (recipients) in the human gut microbiome (hgMb) through lateral gene transfer (LGT) for boosted antigen levels potentially triggering a robust immune response.
