Abstract

Compositions for methods of preventing or reducing pathogenic bacterial growth, proliferation, and/or colonization are described containing one or more types of non-pathogenic bacteria to be introduced into the gastrointestinal tract and effectively compete with pathogenic bacteria for monomeric or polymeric carbohydrate nutrients, and/or amino acid nutrients, and/or vitamin nutrients.
