Abstract:

Infantile colic is a common disease. Its etiology is not clear, which may be related to the imbalance of intestinal flora. Pediococcus pentosaceus is a probiotic of Pediococcus of Lactobacillaceae. It can enhance host immunity and improve the diversity of intestinal flora. This paper will introduce the characteristics of probiotics such as antibacterial capability, intestinal colonization ability and antibiotic sensitivity of Pediococcus pentosaceus, and the probiotic functions such as antioxidant, antiviral and immune regulation, and elaborate on the possible pathogenesis of infantile colic, the efficacy and potential mechanism of Pediococcus pentosaceus in the treatment of infantile colic, and the current situation of clinical research at home and abroad, in order to provide a scientific basis for Pediococcus pentosaceus in the treatment of infantile colic.

Key words: Pediococcus pentosaceus, infantile colic, probiotic characteristics
