  • Lactic acid bacteria inhibiting halitosis
    Patent number: 7250162
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel bacteria inhibiting halitosis or oral malodor. In particular, the present invention relates to novel lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genus Weissella, which can inhibit the proliferation of anaerobic bacteria producing volatile sulfur compounds by interacting with them and generating hydrogen peroxide under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. These lactic acid bacteria of the present invention are isolated from lactic acid bacteria naturally existing in the oral cavity of a person, and identified and deposited as Weissella cibaria CMU (Accession No.: KCTC 10650BP), Weissella cibaria CMS-1 (Accession No.: KCTC 10678BP), Weissella cibaria CMS-2 (Accession No.: KCTC 10679BP) and Weissella cibaria CMS-3 (Accession No.: KCTC 10680BP), respectively.
