摘要:
The present invention relates to lactic acid bacterial strains which are capable of producing or inducing the production of melatonin, for use in the production of melatonin in a subject. Preferred strains for such uses are capable of producing or inducing the production of adenosine. Therapeutic uses of such strains include the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with melatonin deficiency, for example infantile colic. Novel strains are also provided.

A method to provide therapeutic microvesicles from probiotic bacteria comprises exposing the bacteria to an inducing treatment during culturing to induce production and release of therapeutic microvesicles by the bacteria. The therapeutic microvesicles may be used in treatment of, for instance, colic, an infant or childhood gastrointestinal disorder or disease, a gastrointestinal pain disorder, a bone loss disease and/or a periodontal disease.

The invention relates to selection of bacterial strain for use in treating a disease related to serotonin deficiency by culturing bacteria of a lactic acid producing bacterial strain, under aerobic conditions, in a culture medium comprising tryptophan. Any serotonin produced by the bacteria of the lactic acid producing bacterial strain in the culture medium is detected and the lactic acid producing bacterial strain is selected as effective in treating serotonin deficiency and/or a disease related to serotonin deficiency in a subject if serotonin is detected in the culture medium.
摘要:
Methods for the controlled activation of the reuterin-production machinery of Lactobacillus reuteri by adding glycerol and other substances during the manufacture of cell-cultures and keeping the produced reuterin in the bacterial cell during preservation and storage. In particular this invention relates to the manufacture of large amounts of L. reuteri that are loaded with reuterin, and the use of such loaded bacteria for applications such as prevention and treatment of diseases, for food applications and the like.
摘要:
The present invention relates to probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri strain obtained by a step of growing the bacteria in a medium comprising galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), so called pre-conditioning. The pre-conditioning method provides boosting effects of the probiotic L. reuteri strain, such as improved mineral absorption, in the gastrointestinal tract. The invention comprises methods for manufacturing and cultivating probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri strains, and products and first and second medical uses containing such strains.
摘要:
The invention herein relates generally to enhancing the survival and activity of probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri strains in mammals by pre-conditioning L. reuteri with GOS during cultivation and to a surprisingly high synbiotic effect of such a pre-conditioned probiotic L. reuteri strain when administered together with GOS further added in the composition. The invention therefore comprises methods for cultivating and manufacturing probiotic L. reuteri strains, and preparing products containing such pre-conditioned strains in combination with additional amounts of GOS. In more detail the present invention relates to a composition comprising a probiotic L. reuteri strain, obtained by a step of growing the bacteria in a medium comprising GOS ("pre-conditioning"), and administering the pre-conditioned bacteria together with further GOS in the final product. The inventors have found that such method induces surprisingly high and unexpected synbiotic beneficial effects of the probiotic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. The composition also induces an increased calcium and iron solubility.
