    Abstract: A method and system for increasing beneficial bacteria populations in a subject's oral cavity and decreasing pathogenic bacteria to address a variety of diseases and conditions, thereby enhancing a person's oral and overall health, including through the use of oral strips that adhere to surfaces in the oral cavity and that include at least one of xylitol, Lachnospira, Veillonella, Faecalibacterium and/or Rothia bacteria, including bacteria transformed via a CRISPR system. Certain embodiments employ light to modify oral cavity bacterial populations, including the use of bioluminescent oral strips that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and decrease pathogenic bacteria populations.

    Abstract: A method to reduce the likelihood of a dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiome in an individual employing a probiotic method and composition for maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome, with particular embodiments including a bacterial formulation of at least two live bacteria selected from the group consisting of L. reuteri, L johnsonii and L. crispatus, and at least one prebiotic having glycogen as a component thereof. The bacterial formulation is administered to an individual's vagina in an amount sufficient for the bacterial formulation to generate an amount of tryptophan metabolites sufficient to act as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists, thereby reducing inflammation in the individual's vagina. Certain embodiments include increasing the production of SCFAs in the individual's gut microbiome, while reducing the production of SCFAs in the individual's vagina and introducing ammonia oxidizing microorganisms to the individual's vagina.

    Abstract: Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome. Embodiments include methods for treating an individual suffering from acne valgaris by topically administering a composition that includes live bacteria selected from the group consisting of L reuteri, L johnsonii, L crispatus, C. acnes, and Nitrosomonas eutropha, that have been modified by using a using a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) CRISPR associated protein (Cas) system or a CRISPR from Prevotella and Francisella 1 (Cpf1) system to reduce the production of a virulence factor of the bacteria.

    Abstract: The methods described herein are for treating infections in individuals having cancer and who are receiving cancer immunotherapy, preferably employing a CRISPR system to selectively kill or reduce the numbers of pathogenic bacteria within the individual and thereafter, administering an immune checkpoint inhibitor thereto. In particular embodiments, the pathogenic bacteria is one of E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus; Streptoccocus; Salmonella; Shigella; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Enterococcus; Clostridium; Neisseria gonnorrhoea; Acinetobacter baumannii; and Campylobacter bacteria and the checkpoint inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of nivolumab, pembrolizumab, pidilizumab, AMP-224, AMP-514, STI-A1110, TSR-042, RG-7446, BMS-936559, MEDI-4736, MSB-0020718C, AUR-012 and STI-A1010. Further embodiments include enhancing the growth of a second bacteria in the individual, such bacteria including Akkermansia, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Fusobacterium, Coprococcus, LactoBacillus, Propionibacterium, Ruminococcus, Veillonella, Prevotella, and F. prausnitzii. The CRISPR system may include Cas9, Cpf1 and Cas3, and may be delivered using a bacteriophage.

    Abstract: A method for reducing the likelihood of an individual developing colorectal cancer includes the use of a CRISPR system to selectively kill pathogenic bacteria, such as Klebsiella and E. coli, within the individual. Preferrably, the growth of a beneficial bacteria, such as Akkermansia, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, Enterococcus, Fusobacterium, Coprococcus, Lactobacillus, Propionibacterium, Ruminococcus, Veillonella, Prevotella, and Streptococcus bacteria, is also enhanced. Reduction of certain virulence factors, such as colibactin, using a CRISPR system, as well the employment of immune checkpoint inhibitors, is effective in treating individuals with cancer and who suffer from a chronic infectious disease.
