摘要:
The present invention provides novel strains of probiotics for use in the gastrointestinal tract of a pet. The probiotics of the present invention are capable of fermenting starch to produce lactic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide anti-pathogenic metabolites. The present invention also provides a novel method for identifying the effectiveness of a pet probiotic in vitro. The method simulates the introduction of a probiotic candidate in the gastrointestinal tract of a pet and measures the anti-pathogenic effectiveness of the probiotic.

摘要:
Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus do not exhibit deconjugation of bile acids and inhibition of nutrient absorption, and exhibit lowering of cholesterol in blood and liver. The particular species of the genus Lactobacillus exhibiting these characteristics is Lactobacillus acidophilus. Furthermore, the strain Lactobacillus acidophilus CL-0062 has been internationally deposited under accession number FERM BP-4980.
摘要:
Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus which do not exhibit deconjugation of bile acids and inhibition of nutrient absorption, and exhibit lowering of cholesterol in blood and liver. There are two specific Lactobacillus strains which have been disclosed that exhibit these characteristic properties. The two strains are Lactobacillus acidophilus FERM-P-14204 and Lactobacillus acidophilus FERM-P-14205.
摘要:
The present invention comprises a novel strain of Lactobacillus johnsonni FERM BP-2680, a lactic acid bacteria preparation using the Lactobacillus johnsonni FERM BP-2680, and a process of manufacturing the lactic acid bacteria preparation. The process includes the steps of inoculating the Lactobacillus johnsonni FERM BP-2680 into a medium containing fermentable sugar as a major carbon source, cultivating and proliferating under cultivation conditions adapted to anaerobes or facultative anaerobes, and further isolating the Lactobacillus johnsonni from the medium and drying the isolated Lactobacillus johnsonni with a protective agent to produce the lactic acid bacteria preparation. Optionally a bulking agent may be added to control cell concentration of the preparation. The preparation containing Lactobacillus johnsonni FERM BP-2680 is used to suppress harmful bacteria in the digestive tract of mammals.
摘要:
New strains of L. acidophilus capable of adhering to the tissue cells of various species of animals and having resistance to both erythromycin and streptomycin are described. The strains may be used in a suitable carrier as a dietary supplement for providing a source of the bacteria in an animal.
摘要:
A first aspect of the invention relates to a porcine lactic acid bacterial strain, wherein said bacterial strain is characterised by one or more of the following characteristics: (i) the ability to exhibit antimicrobial activity against E. coli; (ii) the ability to exhibit antimicrobial activity against S. enteritidis; (iii) the ability to suppress inflammation in IPEC cells induced by 12-0-tetradecaboylphorbol-13-acetate (PMA); (iv) the ability to block the attachment or invasion of IPEC cells by S. enteritidis; (v) the ability to block the attachment or invasion of IPEC cells by E. coli; (vi) the absence of antibiotic resistance to one or more antibiotics selected from the following: ampicillin; cefotaxime; chloramphenicol; erythromycin; gentamicin; tetracycline; vancomycin; metronizadole; nalidixic acid; and kanamycin; and (vii) the ability to exhibit heat stability when subjected to three cycles of heating, each cycle comprising heating at a temperature of 70° C. for a period of 15 minutes. Further aspects of the invention relate to compositions comprising said bacterial strains, and therapeutic uses of said bacterial strains.
