Probiotics: Prevention of Severe Pneumonia and Endotracheal Colonization Trial—PROSPECT: a pilot trial
Trials
Probiotics are live microorganisms that may confer health benefits when ingested. Randomized trials suggest that probiotics significantly decrease the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and the overall incidence of infection in critically ill patients. However, these studies are small, largely single-center, and at risk of bias. The aim of the PROSPECT pilot trial was to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger trial of probiotics to prevent VAP in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). In a randomized blinded trial, patients expected to be mechanically ventilated for ≥72 hours were allocated to receive either 1 × 1010 colony-forming units of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or placebo, twice daily. Patients were excluded if they were at increased risk of L. rhamnosus GG infection or had contraindications to enteral medication. Feasibility objectives were: (1) timely recruitment; (2) maximal protocol adherence; (3) minimal contamination; and (4) estimated VAP rate ≥10 %. We also measured other infections, diarrhea, ICU and hospital length of stay, and mortality. Overall, in 14 centers in Canada and the USA, all feasibility goals were met: (1) 150 patients were randomized in 1 year; (2) protocol adherence was 97 %; (3) no patients received open-label probiotics; and (4) the VAP rate was 19 %. Other infections included: bloodstream infection (19.3 %), urinary tract infections (12.7 %), and skin and soft tissue infections (4.0 %). Diarrhea, defined as Bristol type 6 or 7 stools, occurred in 133 (88.7 %) of patients, the median length of stay in ICU was 12 days (quartile 1 to quartile 3, 7–18 days), and in hospital was 26 days (quartile 1 to quartile 3, 14–44 days); 23 patients (15.3 %) died in the ICU. The PROSPECT pilot trial supports the feasibility of a larger trial to investigate the effect of L. rhamnosus GG on VAP and other nosocomial infections in critically ill patients.

Nonviable Preparation of Lactobacillus acidophilus is Not a Probiotic | Clinical Infectious Diseases | Oxford Academic
OUP Academic
© 2007 by the Infectious Diseases Society of AmericaTthe Editor—As researchers in the field of probiotics, we are compelled to comment on the recent publication by Briand et al. [1]. Probiotics are “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host” [2, p. 5]. This is the most widespread and agreed definition in use. Briand and colleagues used a nonviable preparation of Lactobacillus acidophilus; it is not, therefore, a probiotic. The term “probiotic” should only be used to refer to specific, defined, live microbial preparations that have been evaluated and determined to have a positive health effect in at least 1 controlled study involving the target host. In fact, the word probiotic itself translates to “for life.” Using a nonviable form rules out many of the opportunities that probiotics can afford in the prevention of traveler's diarrhea,...

We’re talking about weakness so much that you have to put your arm in a sling. Soon the condition progresses to a complete loss of mobility in the elbow or shoulder, and
