A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918612B2) discloses a composition comprising three different species of isolated bacteria capable of forming spores - Clostridium orbiscindens, Clostridium bolteae, and Lachnospiraceae bacterium 5_1_57FAA. These bacteria are encapsulated within a capsule, with the combination of the three species demonstrating the ability to decrease and/or inhibit the growth and colonization of various pathogenic bacteria. The composition is designed to target a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, including Yersinia, Vibrio, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Escherichia, and many others, making it a potentially versatile solution for combating harmful bacterial infections.

Moreover, the patent also includes claims related to the specific genetic sequences of the bacteria involved in the composition, highlighting the importance of genetic identity in their effectiveness. The composition can be administered as a single dose unit and may contain additional components such as glycerol. The synergistic effect of the three bacterial species in inhibiting pathogenic bacteria colonization is a key feature of this composition. Additionally, the patent mentions the enteric coating of the capsule, emphasizing the targeted delivery of the bacteria to specific areas within the body. Overall, this patented composition represents a novel approach to combating pathogenic bacterial infections through a combination of unique bacterial species encapsulated within a protective capsule.
