Abstract

A composition and method for treating and preventing gastro-intestinal injury are disclosed. The composition includes a combination of Gram (+) bacteria, in particular ∫i⊃Lactobacillus∫/i⊃ and/or ∫i⊃Bifidobacteria∫/i⊃, and glutamine. The method involves orally or naso-gastrically administering a composition containing Gram (+) bacteria, in particular ∫i⊃Lactobacillus∫/i⊃, and glutamine. The composition, which blocks translocation of bacterial agents such as Gram (-) bacteria, other infectious agents, toxins, chemicals and injurious substances, may be used in the prevention and treatment of symptoms and/or disease that result from translocation of Gram (-) bacteria, including inflammation in the gastro-intestinal tract, Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and bacterial sepsis.

Claims

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
1. A method of preventing gastro-intestinal dysfunction comprising orally administering a Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said Gram (+) bacteria and
glutamine composition protects tissues along the gastro-intestinal tract by
blocking bacteria or other agent adherence to mucosal layers and by blocking bacteria or other agent translocation across said mucosal layers.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein translocation of agents selected
from the group consisting of infectious agents, toxins, chemicals, and injurious
substances is blocked.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising optimizing mucosal
defense due to an intraluminal/apical presence ofthe Gram (+) bacteria and
glutamine composition.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the administering comprises
administering to individuals selected from a group consisting of pre-term infants,
full-term infants, children and adults.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the administering comprises
administering the Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition as a powder.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the administering comprises
administering the Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition mixed in a fluid.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering comprises
administering the Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition as capsules.
-20-
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the capsules are acid-resistant
slow-release micro-capsules.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein the capsules are coated acid-
resistant slow-release capsules.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering other
drugs for treatment of gastro-intestinal ailments with the Gram (+) bacteria and
glutamine composition.
12. The method of claim 2, wherein the blocking bacterial
translocation comprises blocking Gram (-) bacteria..
13. A method of preventing gastro-intestinal dysfunction characterized
by infection or inflamation comprising orally administering a Gram (+) bacteria
and glutamine composition and allowing the Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine
composition to coat gastro-intestinal mucosa.
14. The method of Claim 13, further comprising preventing conditions
selected from the group consisting of NEC and bacterial sepsis.
15. A Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition.
16. The Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition of Claim 15,
said Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine composition blocks epithelial cell bacterial
adherence and translocation.
17. A vaccine prepared using the Gram (+) bacteria and glutamine
composition of Claim 15.
