Claims8
A method for preparing an ingestable support material comprising adding to said ingestible support material a biologically pure culture of Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-2116 having the ability of preventing colonization of an intestine with pathogenic bacteria causing diarrhoea and of preventing infection of intestinal epithelial cells by rotaviruses.
A method for preparing an ingestable support material comprising adding to said support material a supernatant of a biologically pure culture of Lactobacillus peracasei CNCM I-2116 having the ability of preventing colonization of an intestine with pathogenic bacteria causing diarrhoea and of preventing infection of intestinal epithelial cells by rotaviruses.
A method for treatment of a disorder associated with diarrhoea comprising administering to a patient having the disorder associated with diarrhoea a biologically pure culture of lactic acid bacterium strain Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-2116 having the ability of preventing colonization of an intestine with pathogenic bacteria causing diarrhoea and of preventing infection of intestinal epithelial cells by rotaviruses.
A method for preventing a disorder associated with diarrhoea in a patient at risk of same comprising administering to said patient a biologically pure culture of lactic acid bacterium strain Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-2116 having the ability of preventing colonization of the intestine with pathogenic bacteria causing diarrhoea and of preventing infection of intestinal epithelial cells by rotaviruses.
