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:
The present invention provides water-miscible lipid derivatives effective to inhibit the infectious activity of pathogenic microorganisms. Preferred water-miscible 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 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.
