Journal ArticleDOI
Prophylactic Lactobacillus GG reduces antibiotic-associated diarrhea in children with respiratory infections: a randomized study.
Taina Arvola,Kirsi Laiho,Sari Torkkeli,Hannu Mykkänen,Seppo Salminen,Leena Maunula,Erika Isolauri +6 more
TL;DR: The incidence of diarrhea after antimicrobial treatment in children with no history of antimicrobial use during the previous 3 months was evaluated and the preventive potential of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, a probiotic strain with a documented safety record, was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacillus casei strain GG reverses increased intestinal permeability induced by cow milk in suckling rats
TL;DR: Prolonged cow milk challenge in suckling rats increases gut permeability to intact proteins, whereas Lactobacillus GG counteracts this permeability disorder, suggesting a link between the intensity of the antigen-specific immune response and stabilization of the mucosal barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aberrant composition of gut microbiota of allergic infants: a target of bifidobacterial therapy at weaning?
TL;DR: Bifidobacterial supplementation appears to modify the gut microbiota in a manner that may alleviate allergic inflammation, and further studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rectal Bleeding in Infancy: Clinical, Allergological, and Microbiological Examination
TL;DR: Evaluated prospectively the clinical course of rectal bleeding and the impact of cow's milk allergy and aberrant gut microbiota on the condition and found that the overall architecture of the mucosa was well maintained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing the composition of intestinal microflora as a prospective treatment target in infant allergic disease.
Pirkka V. Kirjavainen,Effie Apostolou,Taina Arvola,Seppo Salminen,Glenn R. Gibson,Erika Isolauri +5 more
TL;DR: The most prominent question raised by these data is whether Gram-positive bacteria may have distinctive importance in protection against atopic sensitization.
