Main Research Contents:
The study evaluated the changes in the microbiota of colicky infants induced by the treatment with AB-Kolicare, a probiotic formula comprised by Pediococcus pentosaceus CECT 8330 and Bifidobacterium longum CECT 7894.
Main Research Findings:
A significant increase in the microbiota diversity was found in infants treated with AB-Kolicare when compared to placebo, which correlated with a reduction in the total crying time. In addition, relative abundance of several phyla and genera which are described to be increased in colic was reduced after treatment, and a significant increase in the rate of subpopulations which protect against colic was also observed in comparison to placebo.
