Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change from number of Candida spp CFU/mm3
Non-stimulated saliva will be collected with the aid of a sterile swab (Absorve®) from all infants. The samples were incubated at 37°C and analyzed after 48 hours to quantify the colony forming units (CFU/mm3)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of males in the test group as assessed by questionnaire
Number of cesarean delivery in the test group as assessed by questionnaire
Mean of patient's gestational week in the test group as assessed by questionnaire
Mean of patient's birth length in the test group as assessed by questionnaire
