Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the last years manipulation of intestinal microbiota with probiotics has gained an increasing interest, specially in infant nutrition since recent studies has demonstrated the presence of probiotics in human milk. However, there are few studies studying the effects of probiotics in newborns. The objective of the present study is to analyze safety and tolerance of the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 isolated from human milk.
