The invention relates to a synthetic composition comprising human milk oligosaccharides for use in at least partially restoring the commensal gastrointestinal microbiota and preventing or mitigating antibiotic associated diarrhoea.

Synthetic composition for treating antibiotic associated complications

Disclosed herein are novel assays, systems and kits for selecting a treatment regimen for a subject with depression by identifying at least one nucleic acid polymorphism, e.g., but not limited to, at the MTHFR, MTR, or MTRR locus, and/or determining expression levels of peripheral biomarkers (e.g., SAM, SAH, 4-HNE, and/or hsCRP) in a test sample from a human subject. These biomarkers can be used to determine the effectiveness of treating a depressed subject with a folate-containing compound (alone or as an adjunct to an antidepressant). Additionally, these biomarkers can be used to select an appropriate treatment regimen for subjects with treatment-resistant depression (e.g., resistant to at least one selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Methods and compositions for treating at least one symptom (e.g., at least one core symptom) of depression in a subject and/or determining or improving the effectiveness of an antidepressant drug taken by a subject are also provided herein.
