The 9% placebo and even the 5% treatment sepsis rate seems very high. According to http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/978352-overview#a6 the US rate of neonatal sepsis is around 2/1000 live births so around 0.2%. Given this, I wonder how applicable these results would be to neonates in the US.

It may be that because of diet or other factors, this just wouldn't be as useful in the US.

That said, the other immune boosts are interesting here. And what would be doubly interesting is to figure out probiotics that prevent allergies.
We've known for years that a child who is exposed to real illnesses in a dirty environment may die from that, but won't generally go on to develop asthma. In the developed world we have a lot of health problems coming from the immune system looking so hard for threats that it starts attacking your own body.
There is very, very good reason to believe that the right probiotics would solve this problem. However discovering what those probiotics are is not so simple...

This strain is in milk kefir, no? Easy to cultivate at home. See also: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38800977 Water kefir is also available :)

When my son was born I did a bunch is research on probiotics with good scientific evidence of efficacy. I ended up getting him these which contain most of the promising/researched strains. It's also a liquid which helps in giving it to a baby. I'm pretty convinced that a good probiotic and Onega3 supliment are extremely beneficial. https://www.amazon.com/BIOAMICUS-COMPLETE-Toddler-Probiotic-...
