Bacterial metabolite patterns of infants receiving multi-strain probiotics and risk of late-onset sepsis
The effect of multi-strain probiotics containing Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) on late-onset sepsis (LOS) risk in very-low-birth-weight infants (…

These metabolites are thought to protect the gut barrier and regulate immune responses. Their absence suggests a breakdown in microbial metabolic function.

So, probiotics alone might not prevent sepsis. Instead monitoring gut metabolites could help flag infants at risk earlier.

Their abundance alone is not sufficient, their metabolic functions matter. Infants who developed sepsis had lower gut levels of lactate and acetate, key fermentation products of B. longum.

So how are these metabolites linked to late-onset sepsis?

Routine supplementation with B. longum and L. acidophilus boosted beneficial gut bacteria and lowered levels of antibiotic-resistant pathobionts like Klebsiella and S. haemolyticus.

It's not publicly available, but I'll email you with some material (:
