Multispecies Probiotic Can Prevent Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea in Children

According to this study: Although a multispecies probiotic didn't reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in children when the most stringent definition of the condition was used, it did, however, have a beneficial effect on the overall risk of diarrhea during and seven days after antibiotic treatment. The authors point out that the cause of diarrhea may not be relevant so long as the preventive intervention is effective.
