An experience of using liquid probiotics with pectin for correcting post-infection disorders of gut microflora in infants
The authors assessed the effect of liquid bifido- and lactocontaining synbiotics with pectin on the state of gut microbiocenosis, local immunity and enzyme secretory function of the salivary glands and the intestines in infants with gut dysbiosis. Synbiotic complexes were given to 64 infants from one to two years old, who had a history of recurrent acute respiratory and enteric infections. The results of the study indicate that the administration of courses of liquid biocomplexes with pectin based on bifidobacteria and lactobacilli contributed to arrest of clinical manifestations of dysbiosis, elimination of conditionally pathogenic microflora and restoration of the levels of normal symbionts, yielded an immunomodulating effect. These findings allow recommendation of new liquid synbiotics with pectin for the purposes of prevention and comprehensive correction of gut microbiocenosis in children.
