Probiotics to prevent allergies in infants exposed to antibiotics
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving probiotics to infants who received antibiotics early in life can help prevent allergic diseases like eczema or food allergies. It involves healthy, full-term babies who are breastfed and have been exposed to antibiotics.

This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
This trial tests a probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11) to see if it helps infants grow better and have fewer allergies. It is for healthy babies up to 3 years old who are at higher risk for allergies.
This study tests whether introducing common allergenic foods early and continuing them for six months can help prevent food allergies in infants. It is for babies who have not yet started these foods.
This study tests whether giving healthy babies a daily probiotic supplement helps their gut bacteria develop in a healthy way. It compares two probiotic strains to a placebo (a supplement with no active ingredients).
This study explores how antibiotics given during delivery affect a baby's gut bacteria and long-term health. If you are pregnant or just gave birth and received antibiotics during labor, you and your newborn may be able to join.
