This invention relates to a preparation comprising a probiotic bacterial strain and a prebiotic mixture comprising 5-70 wt % of at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide selected from the group comprising Ga1NAc&#x3b1;1,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c and Ga1&#x3b2;1,6Ga1NAc&#x3b1;1,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c, 20-95 wt % of at least one neutral oligosaccharide selected from the group comprising Ga1&#x3b2;1,6Ga1, Ga1&#x3b2;1,6Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c Ga1&#x3b2;1,6Ga1&#x3b2;1,6G1c, Ga1&#x3b2;1,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,3G1c, Ga1&#x3b2;1,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c, Ga1&#x3b2; 1,6Ga1&#x3b2; 1,6Ga1&#x3b2; 1,4GIc, Ga1&#x3b2; 1,6Ga1&#x3b2; 1,3Ga1&#x3b2; 1,4GIc Ga1&#x3b2; 1,3Ga1&#x3b2; 1,6Ga1&#x3b2; 1,4GIc and Ga1&#x3b2;1,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c and 2-50 wt % of at least one sialylated oligosaccharide selected from the group comprising NeuAc&#x3b1;2,3Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c and NeuAc&#x3b1;2,6Ga1&#x3b2;1,4G1c. The invention extends to food products comprising said preparation and to the use of the preparation in the prevention and treatment of infections.

The present invention pertains to a composition for inducing a pattern of gut barrier maturation similar to that observed with breast-feeding and able to improve gut barrier maturation, e.g. during neonatal stress. In particular, the present invention relates to an infant formula containing a combination of specific ingredients designed to provide a synergistic effect all along gastrointestinal tract and barrier function.

Nutritional formula for optimal gut barrier function

The present invention relates in general to edible compositions comprising probiotics. One embodiment of the present invention relates to an edible composition comprisingATCC BAA-999. This composition can be used to attenuate reductions in hippocampal BDNF expression and/or to treat or prevent anxiety and related disorders.
