Composition for use as a support therapy for treatment of tumours, aids and leukaemia

Abstract

Described in the instant application are methods and compositions for support therapy in antitumor chemotherapeutic treatments, in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome treatments and in leukemia treatments. Said methods and compositions comprise a bacterial strain belonging to the species Lactobacillus pentosus and having an antiviral and an antibacterial activity, and a highly bioavailable zinc internalized in a tyndalized bacterial cell mixed with at least one rubber, and in particular an alginate and/or a gel, and in particular a gel.
