AI Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the differences in gut bacteria between breastfed infants and those fed a specific milk mixture called "Malyutka," due to the mothers' low milk production (hypolactation).
- Infants on breast milk show a higher amount of bifidobacteria, fewer bacteria that break down proteins, and more colicin-producing E. coli strains compared to those on the formula.
- Future research should focus on improving milk formulas to better mimic the beneficial gut bacteria found in breastfed infants.
Article Abstract
Dissimilarity in the fecal microflora of infants fed with breast milk and the ones receiving in the neonatal period the mixture "Malyutka" and experimental samples of the dry acidopilic mixture "Malyutka" because of their mothers' state of hypolactation. Features specific for intestinal biocenosis in the breast-nursed infants is the prevalence of bifidobacteria, low abundance of microorganisms accomplishing proteolysis and also a high percentage of colicinogenic cultures of colibacillus. In further preparations of adapted milk mixtures it appears expedient to go on with investigations oriented toward incorporation in their composition of factors contributing to bringing the intestinal microflora composition closer to that in natural feeding.
