Abstract:
A method is provided for inhibiting the attachment of H. influenzae to human cells, such as pharyngeal cells, by contacting the bacilli with phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein that have at least 3 phosphate groups. A product containing phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein may be a liquid enteral nutritional product such as infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used for the prevention and treatment of otitis media in infants. The phosphorylated recombinant human β-casein may also be administered as a throat spray or used in nose drops or a spray.
Abstract:
The present invention provides water-miscible lipid derivatives effective to inhibit the infectious activity of pathogenic microorganisms. Preferred watermiscible lipid derivatives are diacetyltartaric acid esters of monoglycerides wherein 90 percent or more of the fatty acid content is accounted for by a single fatty acid. The fatty acid component preferably contains from 8 to 24 and, more preferably, from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms. The fatty acid can be saturated, unsaturated or hydroxylated.
Abstract:
A nutritional formulation containing an amount of diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides effective to inhibit the infectious activity of pathogenic microorganisms is provided. A method of inhibiting the infectious activity of pathogenic microorganisms including the step of feeding the nutritional composition to a subject is also provided.
Abstract:
A method is provided for inhibiting the attachment of H. influenzae to human cells, such as pharyngeal cells, by contacting the bacilli with phosphorylated recombinant human .beta.-casein that have at least 3 phosphate groups. A product containing phosphorylated recombinant human .beta.-casein may be a liquid enteral nutritional product such as infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used for the prevention and treatment of otitis media in infants. The phosphorylated recombinant human .beta.-casein may also be administered as a throat spray or used in nose drops or a spray.

Abstract:
A method is provided for inhibiting the attachment of Haemophilus influenzae to human pharyngeal cells by contacting the bacilli with phosphorylated recombinant human b-casein that have at least 3 phosphate groups. A product containing phosphorylated recombinant human b-casein may be a liquid enteral nutritional product such as infant formula. The enteral nutritional product may be used for the prevention and treatment of otis media in infants. The phosphorylated recombinant human b-casein may also be administrated as a throat spray or used in nose drops or spray.
