title: [Influence of maternal microflora on the composition of infants' intestinal microcenosis during breastfeeding].
abstract: Composition of intestinal microflora in 38 breastfed infants and their mothers was studied. Microflora of mothers' breast milk was studied also. In all 38 (100%) infants as well as 29 (76.3%) mothers abnormalities in normal intestinal microflora composition were detected. In 50% of cases milk of breastfeeding mothers was contaminated with bacteria without clinical symptoms of infection. Staphylococcus epidermidis predominated between bacteria. In 31.6% of pairs "mother-infant" identical bacterial species were detected in breastmilk and infant's intestine with detection rate highest for S. aureus. It was concluded that improvement of bacteriological examination and preventive measures for breastfeeding mothers and their children is necessary.
