AGUILAR-CORDERO, María José et al. Effect of probiotics as an alternative treatment for human mastitis. JONNPR [online]. 2020, vol.5, n.10, pp.1179-1194.  Epub Mar 28, 2022. ISSN 2529-850X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.3801.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the use of probiotics in relation to mastitis, as well as to know the adequate dose of probiotic and the ideal week of gestation so that the desired effect appears. For this, a systematic review has been carried out, with a search string and filters according to each of the different bases. Also, an inverse search was performed to the root of the results obtained. Inclusion and exclusion criteria have been applied in the selection of articles. Regarding the results and according to current evidence, it can be said that the use of probiotics as an alternative treatment to human mastitis could be effective since there is a statistically significant difference in the reduction of bacterial load. Regarding the dose and the ideal week of gestation for the administration of probiotics, different doses and weeks have been determined that have taken effect; but without being able to specify problems they are the most effective and ideal.
