Probiotics are of interest to treat preterms because research shows that they might prevent necrotising enterocolitis in preterms and also sepsis. I wonder what the current practice is in NICUs in Europe? Are they being used? If so, at what dose, what type of probiotics (preferably the commercial name), what are the specifications of the product, any safety concerncs and are they registered as a drug or as a supplement/food? 

Thanks for your help
