Reduced colonic mucin degradation in breastfed infants colonized by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis EVC001

Analysis of fecal samples of a subset of infants from a randomized open-label trial to determine the effects of supplementing the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis for the first 21 days of life find a significant reduction in mucous erosion in infants colonized with B. infantis EVC001 compared to those not fed the probiotic.
