1
Lactobacillus
Lactobacillus GG
Every 12 hours, the contents of a single capsule containing Lactobacillus GG will be suspended in 3 ml of water-soluble jelly. The suspension will be applied to the oropharyngeal mucosa via sterile syringe. The contents of a second capsule will be suspended in 10 ml of sterile water and pushed through the NG tub followed by 10 mL of air to ensure complete administration.
2
placebo
placebo
Every 12 hours, the contents of a single identical placebo capsule containing the inert plant carbohydrate inulin will be suspended in 3 ml of water-soluble jelly. This suspension will be applied to the oropharyngeal mucosa via sterile syringe. The contents of a second placebo capsule will be suspended in 10 ml of sterile water and pushed through eh NG tube followed by 10 mL of air to ensure complete administration
