Pre-term infants fed with B. Infantis experienced lower level of intestinal inflammation Researchers publishing in the peer-review journal Frontiers in Pediatrics report that pre-term infants fed Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (activated B. infantis EVC001) experienced significantly lower level of intestinal inflammation, 62% less diaper rash, and required 62% fewer antibiotics- all of which are critical health indicators in neonatal care. The study, Impact of probiotic B. infantis EVC001 feeding in premature infants on the gut microbiome, nosocomially acquired antibiotic resistance, and enteric inflammation, is the first to quantify the impact of feeding B. infantis EVC001 on key health indicators specifically in pre-term infants. The work was conducted at two neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Southern California.
