Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001045732
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new composition, use and method to improve the cure of infections caused by antibiotic resistant microbial pathogens, in particular beta-lactam resistant microorganisms. Lactoferrin (LF) or Lactoferricin (LFC) can be administrated alone or in combination with antibiotic to affect growth, physiology and morphology of targeted microorganism. Lactoferrin increase susceptibility and can reverse resistance of microorganism to antibiotics.
