Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy and Safety of BB-12 Supplemented Strawberry Yogurt For Healthy Children on Antibiotics (PLAY ON).
Context: Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. One of the most common indications for probiotic treatment is the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). Unfortunately, many probiotic products used for AAD are not supported by rigorous independent research, and often results in non-evidence-based usage. ⋯ Participants of all ages will be asked to consume the same dose, 100 ml, of product per day. The 100 ml serving of probiotic yogurt will deliver ≥1010 CFU of BB-12. The BB-12 probiotic was not be added.
