  • Publication number: 20220409674
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for suppressing pathogenic organisms. Also provided herein are compositions and methods for inducing regulatory T-cells in response to pathogenic organisms and methods of treating a disease or disorder associated with bacterial colonization. Also provided herein are methods of suppressing colonization of the intestine of a subject with oral microbiome bacteria.

  • Publication number: 20220370547
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel lantibiotics, lantibiotic pharmaceutical compositions, isolated and recombinant lantibiotic-producing bacteria, bacterial pharmaceutical compositions, methods of producing novel lantibiotics from lantibiotic-producing bacteria, and methods of using such lantibiotics, lantibiotic pharmaceutical compositions, and bacterial pharmaceutical compositions to treat gram-positive bacteria infections, including vancomycin resistant enterococci infections, in patients, and to treat food and other objects to avoid gram-positive bacteria contamination.

    Inventors: Eric Pamer, Sohn Kim, Peter McKenney, Silvia Caballero
  • Publication number: 20220096567
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing the risk and severity of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci infection or colonization. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that a restricted fraction of the gut microbiota, including the bacteria Clostridium scindens and/or the bacteria Blautia producta contribute substantially to resistance against vancomycin-resistant Enterococci infection or colonization. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that this is achieved through the biosynthesis of secondary bile acids in the case of Clostridium scindens.
