Abstract
VSL#3 is associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of AAD in average-risk hospital inpatients exposed to systemic antibiotics. As the incidence of CDAD has fallen sharply, no cases of CDAD were found. Probiotic administration as prophylaxis for CDAD may not be indicated in average-risk hospital patients.
