Abstract: The present invention relates to a microorganism belonging to the group of lactic acid bacteria characterized in that it is capable of specifically binding to Streptococcus mutans, wherein the specific binding is (i) resistant to heat treatment; and/or (ii) resistant to protease treatment; and/or (iii) calcium-dependent; and/or (iv) formed within a pH range between 4.5 and 8.5; and/or (v) formed in the presence of saliva. Preferably, the specific binding can be assayed as follows: (a) growing said microorganism to stationary phase; (b) mixing said microorganism with Streptococcus mutans which has been grown to stationary phase; (c) incubating the mixture obtained in step (b) under conditions allowing the formation of aggregates of said microorganism and Streptococcus mutans and (d) detecting aggregates by the occurrence of a pellet.

Abstract: Described are microorganisms which are able to inhibit the formation of foot malodor by skin microorganisms. Also described are compositions comprising such microorganisms as well as the use of such microorganisms in cosmetic, prophylactic or therapeutic applications.

Abstract: Described are microorganisms which are able to suppress the production of malodorous compounds by axillary bacteria. Also described are compositions comprising such microorganisms as well as the use of such micoorganisms in cosmetic, prophylactic or therapeutic applications.

Abstract: Described are microorganisms which are, in a first aspect, able to to stimulate the growth of microorganisms of the resident skin microbial flora and which do not stimulate the growth of microorganisms of the transient pathogenic micro flora. In a second aspect microorganisms are described which are able to inhibit the growth of microorganisms of the transient pathogenic skin micro flora and which do not inhibit the growth of microorganisms of the resident skin micro flora. Also described are compositions comprising such microorganisms as well as the use of such microorganisms in cosmetic, prophylactic or therapeutic applications.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of organically developable, photopolymerizable flexographic elements on flexible metallic supports by coating a flexible metallic support with a tack-free adhesive coating composition which is insoluble and non-swelling in printing inks and organic developers, attaching an elastomeric, photopolymerizable layer to a protective film, and laminating the photopolymerizable layer to the metallic support coated with said adhesive coating composition. A photopolymerizable flexographic element comprising a photopolymerizable layer which is attached to a metallic support by means of a tack-free adhesive film that is non-swelling and insoluble in printing inks and organic developers.
