  • Publication number: 20250295713
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for using human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum. Compositions improve skin health. Methods may include applying human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum over a host or host area, such as skin or mucosa, to minimize the presence of one or more microbes, maximize therapeutic effects, and/or improve health. A method to minimize a pathogenic microbe may include applying to a surface a composition including human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum and an acceptable carrier. Compositions and methods may include a prebiotic to maximize growth and/or metabolites. Compositions and methods may include human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum metabolites, such as violacein, prodigiosin, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, and lantibiotics, and/or other Postbiotics.
