Use of Probiotic Lactobacilli for the Treatment of Lactational Mastitis
Phase 2/3 Evaluation of Three Lactobacilli Strains Isolated From Human Milk for the Treatment of Infectious Mastitis During the Lactation Period
A total of 300 women with lactational infectious mastitis will daily ingest 9 log10 cfu of Lactobacillus salivarius HN6, Lactobacillus reuteri CR20 or Lactobacillus fermentum LC40 for 4 weeks. The three lactobacilli strains were originally isolated from milk of healthy women. On days 0 and 28, milk samples will be collected, and staphylococci/streptococci and lactobacilli will be counted and identified. Evolution of clinical signs will be recorded by midwifes on days 0, 7, 14 and 28.

Phase 2
Phase 3
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Mastitis
  • Biological: Lactobacillus salivarius HN6
    9 log colony-forming units, capsules, daily, four weeks
  • Biological: Lactobacillus reuteri CR20
    9 log colony-forming units, capsules, daily, four weeks
  • Biological: Lactobacillus fermentum LC40
    9 log colony-forming units, capsules, daily, four weeks
  • Drug: Beta-lactam antibiotic
    Use of amoxicillin, cloxacillin or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid(500-750 mg), orally, every 8-12 h, for 2-3 weeks (as prescribed by the physician responsible for the clinical diagnosis of lactational mastitis)
    Other Name: Amoxicillin (generic), Cloxacillin (generic), Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (generic), Clamoxyl, Orbenin, Augmentine
  • Experimental: Probiotic 1
    Women receiving Lactobacillus salivarius HN6
    Intervention: Biological: Lactobacillus salivarius HN6
  • Experimental: Probiotic 2
    Women receiving Lactobacillus reuteri CR20
    Intervention: Biological: Lactobacillus reuteri CR20
  • Experimental: Probiotic 3
    Women receiving Lactobacillus fermentum LC40
    Intervention: Biological: Lactobacillus fermentum LC40
  • Active Comparator: beta-lactam
    The evolution of the women ascribed to the other three arms will be compared with that of 100 women suffering lactational mastitis that will follow a conventional antibiotic treatment as prescribed by the pediatrician/gynecologist
    Intervention: Drug: Beta-lactam antibiotic
