Lactobacillus plantarum Inducia strain DSM 21379 as an antimicrobial agent against cholesterol lowering agents and Clostridium difficile

摘要

The present invention relates to a microbial strain, Lactobacillus plantarum Inducia DSM 21379, used as a cholesterol-lowering agent, an antimicrobial agent, and an antioxidant, and to enhance the natural defense function of a subject. L. Plantarum Inducia is used to prevent cholesterol metabolism disorders and ongoing cardiovascular disease to reduce LDL-cholesterol levels in the blood. L. Plantarum Inducia enhances the innate defense function and cellular immunity, as well as the antioxidant activity of the human body by reducing the level of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) as an antioxidant Strengthen. This strain can also be used as an antimicrobial agent to reduce the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) by preventing the germination of Clostridium difficile spores and inhibiting the growth of Clostridium difficile vegetative cells. used. L. A composition comprising Plantarum Inducia reduces cholesterol and ox-LDL levels in the blood, enhancing the innate defense function and reducing the risk of CDAD. The composition can further comprise xylitol.
