Abstract
The present disclosure features methods and compositions for enhancing the ability of the respiratory membranes to filter airborne pathogens and protect a subject from respiratory infections that result from inhalation or ingestion of such pathogens. In particular, the disclosure provides antimicrobial compositions that prevent and treat respiratory infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Claims39
A pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating respiratory infection comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and at least one (e.g., two, three, four) active (e.g., antimicrobial and/or antiviral) agents selected from lactoferrin (e.g., apolactoferrin, etc.), lysozyme, ICAM-1 (e.g., soluble ICAM-1, etc.), sialic acid (e.g., sialyllactose, etc.), and a neuraminidase inhibitor (e.g., quercetin, isoquercetin, etc.).
A pharmaceutical composition comprising quercetin and isoforms thereof (e.g., quercetin, etc.) and one or more active agents selected from lactoferrin (e.g., apolactoferrin, etc.), lysozyme, ICAM-1 (e.g., soluble ICAM-1, etc.), sialic acid (e.g., sialyllactose, etc.).
