  • Publication number: 20240261343
    Abstract: The Bacillus subtilis ZF-1 and use thereof in inhibiting African swine fever virus are provided. A Bacillus subtilis strain (CCTCC NO: M2022185) is screened and selected from 95 self-preserved strains with an inhibiting effect on African swine fever virus. The strain has a remarkable anti-ASFV effect in vivo and in vitro through anti-infection research at a cell level and an animal body level, can reduce proliferation of the virus in a pig body and damage of ASFV infection to tissues and organs, can effectively control adverse effects of ASFV infection on the body, and can be used for preventing and controlling African swine fever epidemics.

  • Patent number: 11786566
    Abstract: Bifidobacterium animalis and application of a compound bacterium preparation prepared from the Bifidobacterium animalis in the preparation of a medicine for treating or preventing avian influenza virus infection. The invention discovers that Bifidobacterium animalis ATCC Accession No. 25527 can be used for treating animals infected by H7N9, and after the Bifidobacterium animalis ATCC Accession No. 25527 is compounded with Bifidobacterium pseudolongum ATCC Accession No. 25526, the effect is better. The compound preparation can regulate the body immune response, remarkably improve the weight loss and lung tissue injury caused by H7N9 influenza virus infection, and obviously improve the survival rate of mice infected by H7N9 influenza virus. The compound probiotic preparation provided by the invention has a remarkable effect of resisting H7N9 influenza virus infection, and can be effectively used for preventing and treating avian influenza virus infection.
