Effect of Formula Containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on Fecal Microbiota of Infants Born by Cesarean‐Section

Abstract: Our results show that a formula containing L reuteri DSM 17938 does not essentially alter the microbiota in vaginally born infants. In C-section-delivered infants, however, this strain seems to play the role of keystone species by modulating the early development of the microbiota toward the composition found after vaginal delivery.

“…and Lactobacillus spp. relative to infants born by VD, so, in an attempt to restore the GM, these bacteria have been administrated as probiotic supplementation to children born by CS (13,14). Considering the positive effects of dietary XOS on these specific bacteria (27,46,47) and the effect XOS had on the iNKT cell phenotype in CS-delivered pups, it is possible that prebiotic treatments would also turn out to be more effective in humans.…”

“…However, recent data adjusting for confounders showed that mode of delivery had no impact on microbial community structure or function beyond six weeks of age (12). Microbial interventions, such as dietary probiotics (13)(14)(15) and "vaginal seeding" (16), when the baby is swabbed in vaginal fluids immediately after CS, have been tried out to restore the early GM composition in CS-delivered infants. Nonetheless, the efficiency of these interventions in restoring the GM is not yet conclusive (15,16), and the causality between CS delivery, skewed bacterial colonization, and development of chronic inflammatory disorders remains to be discovered.…”

“…Although some probiotic microorganisms have been proven to be efficient in preventing necrotizing enterocolitis and allergy in full-term infants, intervention studies aimed specifically at children born by CS are still scarce and focus specifically on the supplementation of infant formulas. So, a formula containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 positively modulated the early development of the microbiota of infants born by CS towards the composition found after VD [32], whereas the addition of the strain Bifidobacterium lactis CNCM I-3446 positively affected the immune and gut functions of CS babies [33]. A recent multicentre study determined that supplementation with a synbiotic combination of galacto-oligosaccharides/fructo-oligosacharides and a Bifidobacterium breve strain counteracted the delayed Bifidobacterium colonization in CS-delivered infants, emulating colonization patterns of VD babies [34].…”

“…In particular, some bacteria have been assigned a role as a keystone species, present at a relatively low abundance but exerting a strong stabilizing influence on the community (18). Only a single study reported such a role for Lactobacillus, specifically, Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 (19). For the human isolate Lactobacillus paracasei subsp.…”
