Abstract: Useful probiotics have been selected among lactic acid bacteria strains of the genus L. acidophilus, L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. helveticus and L. jensenii for their ability to kill urogenital and/or gastrointestinal pathogens and their ability to inhibit internalization of urogenital and/or gastrointestinal pathogens within urogenital and/or gastrointestinal epithelial cells in humans. Probiotic compositions comprise at least one of the said lactic acid bacteria strains in combination with a suitable delivery system, such as a food product or a beverage, a food or beverage compositions, a food or beverage supplement or adjuvant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide, for use in preventing allergies and/or treating allergies and/or reducing the occurrence or the risk of allergies in an infant or a young child born from a mother deficient in at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide(s) or fed with a mother's milk deficient in at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide(s). The use of said composition in infant formula, milk fortifier or children's food is foreseen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide and at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide in a particular ratio, for use in preventing and/or treating gastrointestinal infections and/or gastrointestinal inflammations in an infant or a young child.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture an infant formula or an infant nutritional product comprising mixture of human milk oligosaccharides is disclosed. The method involves the catalytic hydrogenolysis of compounds of the general formula 1 and 2 with particular oligosaccharide profiles.

Abstract: Described is a matrix to identify mother's milk missing fucosyltransferase-2 (FUT2) dependent glycans which comprise a line of a glycan binding protein such as a lectin or antibody suitable to bind 2?fucosyl-glycans and a line of a positive control to bind a mother's milk protein. For instance, this matrix is porous and allows for transport by capillary force of compounds of mother's milk such as glycoproteins. Especially, the glycan binding protein is the plant lectin from Ulex europaeus. A diagnostic kit comprising one or more of such matrices and a device suitable to receive such a matrix provided with a milk application window and a read-out window has been described as well. Finally a kit-of-parts comprising such a diagnostic kit and one or more feeding doses of 2?fucosyl-glycans has been disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and immunonutritional compositions for preventing or mitigating paralysis of the bone marrow, caused by a tumor or neoplasm, between cycles of and after anti-cancer therapy, thereby attaining a better efficacy of the treatment. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and immunonutritional compositions that can transiently preventing or moderating, bone marrow paralysis or neutropenia of a subject tumor-induced apoptosis or necrosis or other cell damage such that the innate and adaptive immune functions and normal physiology of the bone marrow are preserved, at least in part, which, in turn, lead to (i) a better tolerance and increased efficacy to treatment; (ii) transient augmentation or enhancement of immunocompetence of the immune cell; and (iii) optimization of the effects of and increase of immunocompetence of the immune cell weakened due to paralysis of the bone marrow, caused by a tumor or neoplasm.
