Summary
This study evaluates the long term effects of E. coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN-Suspension)
probiotic bacteria administration on the number of both, bacterial and viral infections
during the first 24 months of infant's life. Half of study participants will receive
EcN-Suspension, while the other half will receive placebo. In an additional non-clinical
explorative evaluation will furthermore be investigated whether the early intestinal
colonization with E.coli strain Nissle 1917 affects the establishment of the intestinal
microbiota.
