ANTICARIES COMPOSITIONS AND PROBIOTICS/PREBIOTICS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/028759
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to various specific bacterial strains isolated from individuals without caries, and characterized in that the strains have an inhibitory activity against cariogenic organisms. The invention also relates to a method for isolating said strains, as well as bioactive peptides, i.e. antimicrobial peptides of human and bacterial origin which also exhibit anticaries activity. The invention additionally relates to pharmaceutical compositions and/or probiotics/prebiotics, functional foods, mouthwashes, toothpaste, chewing gum, etc. that include at least one of the strains and/or at least one of the bioactive peptides of the invention or a combination thereof, and which are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of infectious diseases of the oral cavity, preferably caries.
