The use of probiotics is finding a place in routine practice not only in the field of pediatrics. Probiotics are recommended for recolonization

and positive influence on microclimate and settlement of aboral parts of the gastrointestinal tract with modification and support

of the physiological metabolism of the large intestine. Recently, a greater emphasis has been placed on immunomodulatory potential

of probiotics, prebiotics and paraprobiotics and their use for other types of diseases. However, at the present most indications remain

in the therapy of gastroenterocolitis of various etiology. We verified this indication and positive effect in a clinical study in pediatric

patients with acute infectious gastroenterocolitis of various etiology by using the probiotics product Biopron®9.
