Abstract
A double-blind controlled trial has been carried out to compare a widely used antibiotic association (bacitracin + neomycin) with a preparation of Streptococcus faecium in the treatment of acute enteritis in adults. The elimination of diarrhea and related clinical disturbances was significantly more rapid and complete in the S. faecium treated group with an earlier normalization of stool cultures, indicating that S. faecium is useful in the treatment of acute enteritis.Keywords
