    摘要: The present invention relates to novel strains of lactic acid bacteria, more specifically, novel strains of Lactobacillus reuteri, capable of utilizing ethanolamine. This characteristic makes it possible for the bacteria to compete for the same substrate as pathogenic ethanolamine-utilizing pathogens, thereby presenting an effective means to combat infections resulting from such pathogenic bacteria. There is also provided a method of selecting further ethanolamine-utilizing lactic acid bacteria, as well as other methods and uses involving said novel strains and other ethanolamine-utilizing lactic acid bacteria.

    摘要: A method is provided for evaluating agents for the treatment of different intestinal motility disorders, using distinct methodological parts related to musculature and nerves of the GI tract which communicate with the brain. In particular, the present invention provides a method for the selection of an agent effective for the treatment of an intestinal motility disorder, wherein said method comprises: a) a step of spatiotemporal (ST) mapping carried out on a gastrointestinal segment to analyse the effect of said agent on gastrointestinal motility; and b) a step of ex vivo nerve bundle recording carried out on a gastrointestinal segment to analyse the effect of said agent on mesenteric afferent nerve firing. Bacterial strains selected by the methods of the invention and the use of said bacterial strains in the treatment of intestinal motility disorders are also provided.

    摘要: The invention relates to selection of bacterial strain for use in treating serotonin deficiency and/or 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.
