Overview

Longitudinal trial analyzes infant fecal microbiota changes influenced by probiotics and prebiotics, indicating shifts in gut health.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how probiotics and prebiotics influence the gut microbiota of an infant over the first three years of life.
  • Analyzed 86 fecal samples from an infant over three years using amplicon sequencing and qPCR.
  • Administered probiotic drops and assessed changes in gut microbiota composition.
  • Tracked dietary transitions alongside infant gut health indicators.
  • Probiotic drops reduced clostridia levels and increased bifidobacteria presence.
  • L. reuteri supplemented during the initial months significantly influenced early microbial composition.
  • Shifts in microbiota reflected dietary changes, with notable increases in beneficial strains during solid food introduction.
