- Abstract
Objetive: To determine the effectiveness of probiotic treatment in the prevention and treatment of mastitis, as well as know if there is a link between the use of pre, intra- and postpartum antibiotics, for extrinsic cause and the subsequent onset of mastitis. Methodology: A peer review was carried out of the MEDLINE, CINAHL, CUIDENplus, Scopus, WoS and Cochrane Library databases. The search was narrowed on the basis of the MeSH descriptors: "probióticos/probiotics", "mastitis/mastitis", "lactancia materna/breast feeding", "prevención/prevention", "tratamiento/treatment" and "terapéutica/therapeutics". Results: With a total of 34 potentially useful articles. Following the application of the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 8 national and international investigations have been considered over the past 5 years. Taking probiotics shows a decrease in staph load, associated pain and overall incidence of mastitis; being the most commonly used probiotics Lactobacillus salivarius PS2 and Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716. The relationship between pre, intra- and postpartum antibiotic intake and the onset of mastitis in the postpartum period appears to be related. Conclusions: Although probiotics have been shown to be efficacious in the prevention and treatment of puerperal mastitis, further research is needed to verify whether their use should be implemented in a regulated manner. It seems that the use of antibiotics may affect subsequent occurrences of mastitis, although the timing of administration remains unknown.
