Immature gastrointestinal functions increase the risk of poor growth as well as nosocomial infections and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the preterm infant. The effects of probiotics on growth and development in premature infants have been investigated poorly. Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 (S. boulardii) is a non-pathogenic probiotic yeast. Prophylactic supplementation of S. boulardii at a dose of 50 mg/kg twice a day appeared to bring preterm infants weight gain closer to that of intra-uterine growth rate, reduce feeding intolerance, and had no adverse effects.
