Estimating the term…
An animal-derived lipid is disclosed that is useful as a carrying agent for anti-microbial formulations. Pharmaceutical and other preparations including Emu Oil are also described as profoundly useful components in anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral treatments. This lipid material is extracted from the Emu (Dromais Novae-Hollandiae), an indigenous bird of Australia and New Zealand. The present invention also discloses therapeutic compositions comprising Emu Oil in combination with an extracellular product of Bacillus coagulans or Pseudomonas lindbergii strain, comprising a supernatant or filtrate of said culture suitable for topical application to the skin or mucosal membranes of a mammal, which are utilized to inhibit the growth of bacterium, yeast, fungi, virus, and combinations thereof. Additionally, the aforementioned therapeutic composition may also include an anti-microbial, anti-mycotic, and/or anti-viral agent. The present invention also discloses methods of treatment and therapeutic systems for inhibiting the growth of bacterium, yeast, fungi, virus, and combinations thereof, by topical application of therapeutic compositions comprising Emu Oil in combination with an extracellular product of Bacillus coagulans or Pseudomonas lindbergii strain suitable for topical application to the skin or mucosal membranes of a mammal. Similarly, the aforementioned method may also employ a therapeutic composition additionally containing an anti-microbial, anti-mycotic, and/or anti-viral agent.
A composition comprising an extracellular product of a lactic acid-producing bacterial species in a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier which is suitable for topical application to skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal and Emu Oil.
A method of preventing bacterial, yeast, fungal or viral infection comprising the topical application, to the skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal, an extracellular product of a lactic acid-producing bacterial species in a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier which is suitable for topical application to skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal and Emu Oil;
A method of preventing bacterial, yeast, fungal or viral infection comprising the topical application, to the skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal, an extracellular product of a Bacillus coagulans strain in a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier which is suitable for topical application to skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal and Emu Oil;
A method of preventing bacterial, yeast, fungal or viral infection comprising the topical application, to the skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal, an extracellular product of a Pseudomonas lindbergii strain in a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier which is suitable for topical application to skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal and Emu Oil;
An article of manufacture comprising a flexible article and an effective amount of an extracellular product from a lactic acid-producing bacterial species and Emu Oil, applied to said flexible article, wherein said flexible article is intended to be worn by or attached to skin or a mucous membrane of a mammal so as to allow the indigenous anti-microbial activity of the extracellular product derived from the lactic acid-producing bacterial species to occur adjacent to, or on the skin or mucous membrane.
