BIFIDOBACTERIUM LONGUM ABLE TO BENEFICIALLY MODULATE IMMUNE RESPONSE TO RESPIRATORY VIRUS INFECTION

摘要

Bifidobacterium longum strains and cell wall fractions isolated from Bifidobacterium longum strains are useful in the prophylaxis or treatment of a respiratory viral infection in a subject. They are also useful in the prophylaxis of a secondary bacterial infection associated with a respiratory viral infection in a subject, especially a subject who is susceptible to respiratory infections.
