Brief Summary

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

The mode of delivery affects the diversity and colonization pattern of the gut microbiota during the first year of infants' life.

Probiotics have been observed to positively influence the host's health, but to date few data about the ability of probiotics to modify the gut microbiota composition exist. 40 newborns born by elective caesarian sectional be randomized to a Lactobacillus kefiri LKF01 DSM32079 (LKEF) supplementation or placebo for 21 days. Changes in the gut microbiota composition were detected by using a Next Generation Sequencing technology.
