TL;DR: Results show for the first time a beneficial effect of prebiotics on the development of atopic dermatitis in a high risk population of infants and it appears likely that oligosaccharides modulate postnatal immune development by altering bowel flora and have a potential role in primary allergy prevention during infancy.

TL;DR: Data indicate that supplementation of a term infant's formula with a mixture of galacto- and fructooligosaccharides has a dose-dependent stimulating effect on the growth of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the intestine and results in softer stool with increasing dosage of supplementation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an oligosaccharide mixture consisting of 90% galacto-oligosacscharides and 10% fructo-olsaccharides was used to supplement a standard preterm formula at a concentration of 10 g/l to stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestine.

TL;DR: It can be assumed that particularly milk of non-secretor women (milk group 2) exerts a modified biological protection in the babies in comparison with milks of secretors (groups 1 and 3) during the first 3 months of lactation.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that stimulation of bifidobacteria by prebiotic oligosaccharides reduces the presence of clinically relevant pathogens in the faecal flora, indicating that prebiotics substances might have the capacity to protect against enteral infections.
