Keywords
antibiotic associated diarrhea, probiotic, microbiota, microbiome, Saccharomyces boulardii
Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of co-administering the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid on the intestinal and nasopharyngeal microbiota in children diagnosed with acute otitis media or acute bacterial sinusitis. The trial will also assess the potential of the probiotic to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD), antibiotic associated microbiota perturbation, and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
Interventions
Standard treatment (50-90 mg/kg/day for 10 days)
Probiotic sachet, twice daily for 10 or 21 days depending on group assignment
