A total of 75 powdered infant milk formula (PIF) samples collected from pharmacies and drugstores in Western Sicily, Italy, and representative of 12 different brands were analyzed in this study to evaluate their microbiological quality. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration protocol, 32 samples out of 75 were contaminated by enterobacteria. Commercial biochemical API(r) 20E-system identification method indicated that six PIF samples were presumptively contaminated by Cronobacter spp., but further characterization by alpha-glucosidase based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay identification strongly suggested that these strains did not belong to the genus Cronobacter.

TAURINE SUPPLEMENTATION PREVENTS HYPERAMINOACIDEMIA IN GROWING TERM INFANTS FED HIGH PROTEIN COW'S MILK FORMULA. † 1891
1996
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and plasma and urine amino acid concentrations were compared between three cohorts of healthy term infants who were breast-fed (BF) or randomly assigned to one of two formulas either taurine non-supplemented (FF) or taurine supplemented (FF+T). The formulas had a protein concentration of 2 g/dl (2.9 g/100 kcal) and a whey/casein ratio of 20/80. The infants were studied from 2 to 12 weeks of age. Weight gain and growth in length was normal and similar in all three feeding groups during the study interval. At 12 weeks BUN was significantly higher in the FF group than in the BF and FF+T groups of infants, 16.5 mg/dl vs 7.0 and 7.3 mg/dl respectively. Total plasma amin…
Breast-Feeding from an Evolutionary Perspective.
2021
Lactation is the most critical period of mammal feeding given the compulsory dependence on milk of the offspring during a more or less extensive period following birth. This has also been the case for the human species until relatively recent times when heterologous milk processing has allowed the alternative of artificial lactation. The advantages and disadvantages of natural and artificial lactation (formula) have been widely discussed from the biological, psychological and cultural perspectives, without reaching a general agreement among the breastfeeding women themselves or among the health professionals concerned. On the subject of breastfeeding, the information available is enormous b…
Czy mleko modyfikowane może wydłużyć czas karmienia piersią?
2022
Karmienie naturalne jest najlepszym sposobem żywienia niemowlęcia. Położne i lekarze pediatrzy powinni dążyć do promocji karmienia naturalnego w celu wydłużania okresu karmienia piersią. W artykule autorstwa lekarza specjalisty pediatrii i gastroenterologii dziecięcej przedstawiono najważniejsze problemy związane z żywieniem niemowląt oraz choroby mogące spowodować przedwczesne zakończenie karmienia naturalnego. Podjęto próbę zdefiniowania praktycznych sytuacji klinicznych, w których czasowe zastosowanie mieszanki modyfikowanej może paradoksalnie pomóc, a nie przeszkodzić w utrzymaniu karmienia naturalnego.
