NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITIONS AND INFANT FORMULAS CONTAINING A MIXTURE OF OLIGOSACCHARIDES AND OPTIONAL BIFIDOBACTERIUM LACTIS FOR PREVENTION, TREATMENT OR REDUCTION OF THE SEVERITY OF NON-ROTAVIRUS RELATED DIARRHEA

摘要

FIELD: infant food.;SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants. Proposed is the use of a nutritional composition containing at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide in an amount of 0.001 to 1 wt%, and at least one galactooligosaccharide in an amount of 1 to 10 wt%, and at least one sialylated oligosaccharide in an amount of 0.005 to 1 wt% to stimulate or induce intestinal microbiota, that is similar to the microbiota of infants exclusively fed with human breast milk, and to prevent and/or treat and/or reduce the severity and/or risk and/or prevalence of non-rotavirus diarrhea in infants or young children aged 0 to 36 months, optionally 0 to 12 months or 0 to 6 months. ;EFFECT: stimulation or induction of intestinal microbiota, which is similar to the microbiota of infants fed exclusively on human breast milk, is characterized in that it includes increased population of bifidobacteria and a suppression of the population of Streptococcus. ;14 cl, 6 dwg, 2 tbl, 4 ex
