Probiotics for preterm infants?

M Millar, M Wilks, K Costeloe, M Millar, M Wilks, K Costeloe

Abstract

Infants nursed in special care baby units develop an abnormal pattern of microbial colonisation, which may contribute to disease. Enteric feeding of live microbial supplements (probiotics) may provide benefit to such infants and help to prevent diseases such as neonatal necrotising enterocolitis.
