Gastroenteritis virus-binding enteric bacteria for probiotics

update:2022-08-24
NEXT
PREV

Features

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.

Targeted Application(s)/Industry

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.
