Abstract

Provided are therapeutic compositions containing Ecobiotic™ populations for prevention, treatment and reduction of symptoms associated with a dysbiosis of a mammalian subject such as a human.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A composition comprising a first species of isolated bacterium and a second species of isolated bacterium and a capsule, which encapsulates the first species, the second species, or both the first and species of isolated bacterium, wherein the first species is Lachnospiraceae_bacterium_5_1_57FAA and the second species is Clostridium orbiscindens , wherein the Lachnospiraceae_bacterium_5_1_57FAA comprises a 16S rDNA sequence that is at least 97% identical to the 16S rDNA sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 979, wherein the Clostridium orbiscindens comprises a 16S rDNA sequence that is at least 97% identical to SEQ ID NO: 548, and wherein the first species and the second species are capable of inhibiting Clostridium difficile ( C. difficile ) growth as measured by a CivSim assay.

2. The composition of claim 1 , which further comprises an enteric coating.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first species and the second species are capable of inhibiting C. difficile growth in the CivSim assay with a confidence interval of >99% (++++).

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first species, the second species, or both are in the form of spores.

5. The composition of claim 1 , which is formulated for populating the gastrointestinal tract of the subject.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first species, the second species, or both are lyophilized.

7. A kit comprising in one or more containers the composition of claim 1 .

8. A pharmaceutical formulation comprising the composition of claim 1 .

9. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 8 , further comprising an additional agent.

10. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 9 , wherein the additional agent is selected from an anti-bacterial agent, anti-fungal agent, anti-viral agent, anti-parasitic agent, or combinations thereof.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Lachnospiraceae_bacterium_5_1_57FAA comprises a 16S rDNA sequence that is at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO: 979.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Lachnospiraceae_bacterium_5_1_57FAA comprises a 16S rDNA sequence that is at least 99% identical to SEQ ID NO: 979.

13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Lachnospiraceae_bacterium_5_1_57FAA comprises the 16S rDNA sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 979.

14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Clostridium orbiscindens comprises a 16S rDNA sequence that is at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO: 548.

15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Clostridium orbiscindens comprises a 16S rDNA sequence that is at least 99% identical to SEQ ID NO: 548.

16. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Clostridium orbiscindens comprises the 16S rDNA sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 548.

17. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 8 , which further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

18. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 8 , which is formulated for oral administration.

19. The composition of claim 1 , which further comprises glycerol.
