  • Method for prophylactic treatment of the colonization of a Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain by bacterial cell surface protein with fibronectin and fibrinogen binding ability
    Patent number: 5189015
    Abstract: A method for prophylactic treatments of the colonization of a Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain having the ability to bind to fibronectin in a mammal. The method comprises administering a prophylactic therapeutically active amount of a protein having fibronectin binding properties to a mammal in need of such treatment. The generation of infections, such as mastitis, caused by a Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain are thereby prevented. The administration may be via vaccination to induce immunization.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 1991

    Assignee: Alfa-Laval Agri International AB
    Inventors: Magnus Hook, Kjell M. Lindberg, Torkel M. Wadstrom
  • Agent for preventing or treating infections in human beings and animals
    Patent number: 4645757
    Abstract: An agent for preventing or treating infections in human beings and animals and consisting of or containing (a) a physiologically acceptable polymer based on one or more polymeric or polymerized carbohydrates or sugar alcohols or derivatives thereof and containing hydrophobic groups and having a molecular weight which is sufficiently high to prevent it from readily penetrating cellular membrane or (b) a physiologically acceptable water-insoluble inorganic material, which exhibits a hydrophobic organic or inorganic surface layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 1984
    Date of Patent: February 24, 1987
    Assignee: Landstingens Inkopscentral Lic Ekonomisk Forening
    Inventors: Wilhelm E. S. Hjerten, Torkel M. Wadstrom
  • Bacteria adsorbing composition
    Patent number: 4617326
    Abstract: A bacteria adsorbing composition which includes a first component comprising a powerfully hydrophobic, bacteria adsorbing, physiologically innocuous, preferably water-insoluble material, and a second component comprising a hydrophilic, liquid absorbing, physiologically innocuous material.
