BACKGROUND BACKGROUND BACKGROUND BACKGROUND BACKGROUND BACKGROUND Bacterial infections are becoming a serious problem, with an increase in complex infections accompanied by various serious underlying diseases, in addition to simple infections caused solely by the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. For example, infectious diseases associated with cancer are clinically problematic. Carrying cancer leads to a systemic and local decrease in resistance, leading to complications and subsequent infections in immunocompromised conditions. Infections associated with cancer are
In the early stages, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, fetal canal infections, and skin infections are common, and in the final stages, pneumonia and sepsis are common. The following process is the general mechanism of infection associated with this tumor.

In other words, as leukemia, lymphoma, and cancer progress, they cause damage to normal tissues and cells, especially lymphoid cells and granulocyte cell function, which makes them susceptible to infection and is thought to cause complications. ing. In such cases, antibiotic administration has little curative effect, often leading to repeated infections, bacterial replacement, and intractable infections. Therefore, conventional antibiotics,
Chemotherapeutic agents alone cannot be expected to provide a complete cure, and treatment is not possible without improving the body's defense function, so the development of drugs that enhance the body's defense function is desired.

On the other hand, antibiotics play a central role in combating bacterial infections in animals such as livestock and poultry, and in fact, serious infections caused by pathogenic bacteria are decreasing with the introduction of various antibiotics. . However, in the livestock industry, overuse of antibacterial agents has caused a rise in residual and resistant bacteria in livestock and marine products, and bacterial replacement disease, which has become a social problem. In other words, the host's ability to fight off infections is significantly reduced and its repair function against infections is impaired, making bacterial infections difficult to cure and creating a state where reinfection is easy.

Furthermore, spontaneous infections (opportunistic infections, fM,) reduce livestock productivity, resulting in large losses. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the activity of the host's immune system and enhance the defense function of the living body.
