Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a new strain of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus , suitable for use in the treatment or prevention of Helicobacter pylori infection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A genetically transformed Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulparicus ( L. bulparicus ) strain derived from the parent strain Lactobacillus bulparicus deposited with the Collection Nationale De Cultures De Microorganismes (CNCM) under accession number I-4428, wherein one or more endogenous gene(s) of the parent strain are mutated and/or one or more gene(s) of interest are transformed into the parent strain, wherein said genetically transformed L. bulparicus strain is capable of inhibiting adhesion of Helicobacter pylori strains to epithelial cells. 2. A cell fraction obtained by a method comprising: (a) culturing a L. bulparicus strain, wherein the L. bulparicus strain is (i) a L. bulparicus strain deposited with the CNCM under Accession number I-4428, or (ii) a genetically transformed L. bulparicus strain of claim 1 , and (b) isolating the cell fraction from the culture in step a), wherein said cell fraction inhibits the adhesion of H. pylori strains to epithelial cells. 3. A fermented dairy product composition comprising a Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strain deposited with the CNCM under Accession number I-4428 or a genetically transformed L. bulgaricus strain of claim 1 . 4. The composition according to claim 3 , comprising at least 10 5 cfu per gram dry weight of the L. bulgaricus strain. 5. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein the composition is a nutritional composition. 6. The composition according to claim 5 , wherein the composition is a yogurt product. 7. A composition comprising the cell fraction according to claim 2 . 8. The composition according to claim 7 , wherein the composition is a nutritional composition. 9. The composition according to claim 8 , wherein the composition is a dairy product. 10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the cell fraction according to claim 2 . 11. The composition according to claim 4 , comprising at least 10 6 cfu per gram dry weight of the L. bulgaricus strain.
