Text: Allergic mothers had significantly lower amounts of bifidobacteria in breast-milk compared with non-allergic mothers [median 1. 3 x 10 (3) bacterial cells/mL (IQR 22. 4-3. 0 x 10 (3)) vs. 5. 6 x 10 (3) bacterial cells/mL (1. 8 x 10 (3) -1. 8 x 10 (4)), respectively, (P = 0. 004)], and their infants had concurrently lower counts of bifidobacteria in feces [3. 9 x 10 (8) bacterial cells/g (IQR 6. 5 x 10 (6) -1. 5 x 10 (9)) in infants of allergic mothers, vs. 2. 5 x 10 (9) bacterial cells/g (6. 5 x 10 (8) -3. 2 x 10 (10)) in infants of non-allergic mothers, P = 0. 013].
