Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a bacterial composition having immunomodulation properties comprising at least one strain selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus PTA-4797, Lactobacillus plantarum PTA-4799, Lactobacillus salivarius PTA-4800, Lactobacillus paracasei PTA-4798, Bifidobacterium bifidum PTA-4801 and Bifidobacterium lactis PTA-4802. An other subject of the invention is an immunomodulation method comprising the step of using the at least one strain selected from the preceding group.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 21 . (canceled) 
     
     
         22 . A method for modulating the immune system of a human or animal in need thereof, said method comprising the step of administering to said human or animal in need thereof an effective amount of a bacterial composition comprising  Bifidobacterium bifidum  PTA-4801. 
     
     
         23 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein said method is a method for stimulating the immune system of a human or an animal in need thereof. 
     
     
         24 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein said bacterial composition further comprises at least one additional strain selected from the group consisting of  Lactobacillus acidophilus  PTA-4797,  Lactobacillus plantarum  PTA-4799,  Lactobacillus paracasei  PTA-4800,  Bifidobacterium lactis  PTA-4802. 
     
     
         25 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein said bacterial composition further comprises at least two additional strains selected from the group consisting of  Lactobacillus acidophilus  PTA-4797,  Lactobacillus plantarum  PTA-4799,  Lactobacillus paracasei  PTA-4800,  Bifidobacterium lactis  PTA-4802. 
     
     
         26 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein said bacterial composition comprises a blend of  Lactobacillus acidophilus  PTA-4797,  Lactobacillus plantarum  PTA-4799,  Lactobacillus paracasei  PTA-4800,  Bifidobacterium lactis  PTA-4802. 
     
     
         27 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein said bacterial composition comprises from 10 6  to 10 11  CFU of bacteria/g of composition. 
     
     
         28 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein said bacterial composition comprises from 10 8  to 10 11  CFU of bacteria/g of composition.
