Gastroenteritis virus-binding enteric bacteria for probiotics
update:2024/01/23
- Features and Uniqueness
-
- We have found enteric bacteria that can capture gastroenteritis viruses, such as norovirus and rotavirus, through histo-blood group antigen (HBGA)-like substances. These HBGA-positive bacteria give a significant impant on the ecology of gastroenteritis viruses in human body and in environments.
- Practical Application
-
Since gastroenteritis virus-binding bacteria can affect the viral infection capability to host cells, these bacteria and produced HBGA-like substances are available in probiotics application.
