Summary

This study tests a specially designed probiotic, Streptococcus salivarius eK12, to see if it can prevent repeated strep throat infections in children aged 3 to 10. The probiotic is given as a daily supplement to crowd out the harmful bacteria that cause strep throat. The goal is to reduce the number of infections and the need for antibiotics, which can lead to resistance and other side effects.
