Quick Summary

In this 4-month randomized controlled trial, the probiotic strains Lactobacillus salivarius AP-32 and Bifidobacterium animalis CP-9 appeared to be safe in full-term infants with no known health conditions.

What was studied?

The effect of the probiotic strains Lactobacillus salivarius (L. salivarius) AP-32 and Bifidobacterium animalis (B. animalis) CP-9 on weight gain (primary outcome) in infants.

The secondary outcomes were adverse events, anthropometric parameters (body length when lying down and head circumference), digestive tolerance, incidence of infectious or allergic diseases, and total time (hours/day) and number of episodes of crying and/or fussing. Fecal gut microbiome composition was also assessed.
