Most COVID-19 inpatients (58–95%) received empiric antibiotics to prevent the increased mortality due to ventilator-associated pneumonia and other secondary infections observed in COVID-19 patients. The expected consequences of increased antibiotic use include antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) and Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI). We reviewed the literature (January 2020–March 2021) to explore strategies to reduce these consequences. Antimicrobial stewardship programs were effective in controlling antibiotic use during past influenza epidemics and have also been shown to reduce healthcare-associated rates of CDI. Another potential strategy is the use of specific strains of Citation: Kullar, R.; Johnson, S.; probiotics shown to be effective for the prevention of AAD and CDI prior to the pandemic. During McFarland, L.V.; Goldstein, E.J.C.

Received: 10 February 2017; Accepted: 6 April 2017; Published: 19 April 2017 Abstract: Probiotic food products contain a variety of different bacterial strains and may offer different health effects. The objective was to document the prevalence and dosage of probiotic strains in the Canadian food supply and to review the literature investigating these strains in order to understand what health benefits these products may offer. The Food Label Information Program was used to identify probiotic-containing products in the food supply. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for randomized controlled trials that tested the health effects of these strains in humans. There were six probiotic strains/strain combinations identified in the food supply. Thirty-one studies investigated these strains and found that they are associated with decreased diarrhea and constipation, improved digestive symptoms, glycemic control, antioxidant status, blood lipids, oral health, and infant breastfeeding outcomes, as well as enhanced immunity and support for Helicobacter pylori eradication.

Marquée par de très bons résultats, l’année 2002 illustre bien, je crois, notre capacité à répondre à cette ambition. La croissance organique de nos ventes est la plus forte de tout notre secteur, permettant une progression significative, en cette fin d’année 2002, de nos marges opérationnelles. C’est maintenant un fait acquis : nous devons ce dynamisme à la focalisation de nos ressources et à l’équilibre géographique que nous avons construit ces dernières années.
