The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a probiotic drop containing , , and on salivary counts of (SM) and (LB) in children 3-6 years of age.
Sixty-one healthy children were randomly allocated into two parallel blocks in this double-blind, randomized controlled trial (IRCT2014120320202N1) from May to June 2015.
Finally 53 participants consumed five drops of placebo ( = 23) or probiotic ( = 30) every night for 2 weeks. Before intervention and 1 day after completion of the intervention, unstimulated salivary samples were collected, and microbiologic evaluations were carried out.
Data were analyzed with descriptive statistical methods Wilcoxon signed ranks, Mann-Whitney, and logistic regression.
SM level decreased significantly in probiotic group after intervention ( = 0.045), and there were significant differences in salivary SM counts after intervention between two groups ( = 0.04). In probiotic group, LB counts decreased significantly after intervention ( = 0.048); however, there were no significant differences between two groups ( = 0.216).
Use of this probiotic drop decreased salivary counts of SM; however, LB counts did not change. In addition, use of the drop in children with higher salivary counts appeared to be more effective.
本研究旨在评估含有嗜酸乳杆菌、双歧杆菌和嗜热链球菌的益生菌滴剂对3至6岁儿童唾液中变形链球菌(SM)和乳杆菌(LB)计数的影响。
在这项双盲随机对照试验(IRCT2014120320202N1)中,61名健康儿童于2015年5月至6月被随机分为两个平行组。
最终53名参与者每晚服用5滴安慰剂(n = 23)或益生菌(n = 30),持续2周。在干预前和干预完成后1天,收集未刺激的唾液样本并进行微生物学评估。
采用描述性统计方法、威尔科克森符号秩检验、曼 - 惠特尼检验和逻辑回归分析数据。
干预后益生菌组的SM水平显著下降(P = 0.045),两组干预后唾液SM计数存在显著差异(P = 0.04)。在益生菌组中,干预后LB计数显著下降(P = 0.048);然而,两组之间无显著差异(P = 0.216)。
使用这种益生菌滴剂可降低唾液中SM的计数;然而,LB计数没有变化。此外,在唾液计数较高的儿童中使用该滴剂似乎更有效。
