Efficacy of Bacillu clausii spores in tha prevention of recurrent respiratory infections in children: a pilot study

Probiotic milk has been previously demonstrated to reduce the number of respiratory infections (RI) among children attending day care centres. Thus, this pilot study was aimed to assess the efficacy and the safety of 3 month treatment with Bacillus clausii in the prevention of recurrent respiratory infections (RRI) in children. The results of this pilot study provide the first preliminary evidence that B. clausii may exert a significant and persistent impact on RI in children and is safe and well tolerated.
