Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration of safety of probiotics — a review

TL;DR: Prior to incorporating new strains into products their efficacy should be carefully assessed, and a case by case evaluation as to whether they share the safety status of traditional food-grade organisms should be made.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic susceptibility of potentially probiotic Lactobacillus species.

TL;DR: The occurrence of a minority of lactobacilli with undesirable, atypical resistance to certain antibiotics demonstrates that not all strains are suitable for use as probiotics or bacteriotherapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mode of delivery affects the bacterial community in the newborn gut.

TL;DR: It seems that newborn's intestinal bacteria during the first 3days of life are strongly influenced by mode of delivery, which is altered in CS-delivered infants compared with vaginally delivered infants, with only a minor influence of the type of feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cesarean Delivery May Affect the Early Biodiversity of Intestinal Bacteria

TL;DR: The mode of delivery has a deep impact on the composition of the intestinal microbiota at the very beginning of human life, and this study opens the path to further investigations to confirm the link between microbiota composition and immune system development and to identify tools for the modulation of the intestine microbiota of cesarean-delivered neonates.
