The present invention relates to the use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus in combination with Bifidobacterium longum to manufacture a formulation to increase male fertility in a subject. In particular, said strains are the strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus CECT 8361 and Bifidobacterium longum CECT 7347. Additionally, the formulation comprising the said strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus CECT 8361 and Bifidobacterium longum CECT 7347 is also described.

The invention provides compositions comprising bacterial strains for treating and preventing cancer.

A composition containing a newly identified bacteriocin produced by a Lactobacillus plantarum strain, isolated from natural corn mash used in commercial fermentation process for production of ethanol. The bacteriocin composition is effective in broad range killing against the vast majority of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates in ethanol fermentation mash, which include multiple species of Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Weissella, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus as well as killing activity against non-LAB isolates, such as strains of Staphylococcus, Enterobacter, Bacillus, and Clostridium. The bacteriocin is also combined with broad range bacteriophage to provide synergistic effectiveness again unwanted bacteria in industrial biofuel fermentation process and in human and animal bacterial infections.

Inoculation of ATM-deficient mice with probiotic microorganisms, such as L. johnsonii, changed immune parameters, decreased a marker of DNA damage and increased the lifespan of the mice. Compositions and methods described herein are useful for the treatment and prevention of Ataxia telangiectasia and other cancer-prone disease, such as p53 deficiency-associated cancers. Compositions and methods of the present invention are also useful for treating and preventing radiation-induced toxicity to normal tissue in a subject being exposed to radiation, Compositions and methods of the invention can increase lifespans in a simple, non-invasive manner.

The invention provides compositions comprising bacterial strains for treating and preventing cancer.

The present invention relates to a composition, containing tyndallized lactobacillus dead cells as an active ingredient, for skin moisturizing or wrinkle improvement. The effect of the tyndallized lactobacillus dead cells on skin moisturizing and wrinkle improvement, which are deteriorated by ultraviolet radiation, was checked. As a result, it was confirmed that the amount of moisture evaporating from the skin was reduced and the amount of moisture contained in the skin was increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the epidermis thickness was reduced and the expression levels of wrinkle-related proteins were reduced. Therefore, the composition of the present invention improves the damage of the skin barriers, which is caused by ultraviolet radiation, thereby suppressing the loss of skin moisture or the wrinkle formation.

The invention provides compositions comprising bacterial strains for treating and preventing cancer.

The invention provides compositions comprising bacterial strains for treating and preventing inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
