This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, with parallel groups and reference group. The aim of the study was to investigate whether feed a fermented formula milk leads to an increase of anti-microbial peptides such as catelecidine, alpha and beta defensins and secretory-IgA, compared to feed a standard formula (Plasmon Primigiorni), according to mode of delivery. Breastfed infants were the reference group.
