Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Objective: Our aim was to compare the composition and diversity of Lactobacillus microbiota in infants living in Malawi and Southwestern Finland. Methods: The composition and diversity of the Lactobacillus group was analyzed in the feces of healthy 6‐month‐old infants living in rural Malawi (n = 44) and Southwestern Finland (n = 31), using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction method and PCR‐denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprinting. Results: Malawian infants had higher counts of lactobacilli than their Finnish counterparts (7.45 log cells/g vs 6.86 log cells/g, P
