The present invention relates to the use of a Bifidobacterium strain for the preparation of compositions, in particular of an infant formula, intended for the prevention and/or treatment of allergic-type manifestations. These compositions are obtained from a Bifidobacterium culture, without hydrolyzing milk proteins. The bacteria, which preferably belong to the species Bifidobacterium breve, may be killed or removed from the composition during the process.
