ABSTRACT
The efficacy of the adapted sweet, acidophilic and propionic-acidophilic mixtures Malyutka and Malysh included into a complex of therapeutic measures for acute gastroenterocolitis was studied and compared in 93 infants. The time course of gastroenterocolitis was the most favourable in children fed the propionic-acidophilic mixtures Malyutka and Malysh. As compared to children given the sweet and acidophilic mixtures Malyutka and Malysh, those fed propionic-acidophilic versions of the mixtures demonstrated more rapid elimination of the major symptoms and syndromes of disease and improvement of erythropoiesis.

Antistaphylococcal properties of the new lactic acid mixture propionic acidophilic milk (PAM) against the microbe isolated from feces of children suffering from staphylococcal sepsis were comparatively studied by the dilution and diffusion methods. PAM was found to have more pronounced antimicrobial properties against pathogenic staphylococcus than acidophilic milk and kefir. It is recommended to include PAM into the diet of children with intestinal dysbacteriosis.
