NCT03876678

Brief Summary

This trial will be carried out in two stages in the sick baby room of the Children's Hospital of China Medical University (CMUH). The first stage is: the enzyme active reaction kit (usually called API ZYM kit) was used to determine the β-glucuronidase activity of 9 strains of Lactobacillus and 4 strains of Bifidobacterium, screening out the probiotics that have the best inhibitory efficacy of intestinal β-glucuronidase activity; The second stage is: using the results of the first stage analysis, treating the newborns of jaundice by oral probiotics.
