One of the most controversial areas in neonatology is whether probiotics should
be provided routinely to preterm infants to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis
(NEC). This review provides the reader with a brief overview of NEC and current
concepts of its pathophysiology, discusses the microbial ecology of the intestine
in preterm infants and factors that may lead to a "dysbiosis", summarizes studies
of probiotics in preterm infants, elaborates on the need for regulation in this
area, and discusses alternatives to probiotics and what is the future for the
prevention of NEC.
