One of the most common infections acquired in hospital, also known as nosocomial infections, is intestinal infections. These infections can lead to the development of nosocomial diarrhea which can have serious consequences in young / very young children. These infections tend to prolong the average length of hospital stay of this fragile population. Conventional treatment of these infections, in the absence of knowledge of the infectious agent, is purely symptomatic. It is therefore necessary to develop new prevention strategies for this type of disease. In this sense, the administration of probiotic strains in order to prevent the onset of nosocomial diarrhea is a promising avenue and the present study aims to validate the preventive effect of this supplement. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of Babybiane® Imedia or the microbiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG LA801 in the preventive nutritional management of nosocomial diarrhea in children aged 1 to 24 months. This evaluation will be made in comparison with a placebo. The tolerance of the product under study will also be assessed.
