Description

1. CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/920,010, filed on Apr. 9, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.

2. FIELD

This invention provides beneficial compositions and methods for the improvement of skin health and the inhibition, treatment and prevention of diseases, disorders and conditions associated with pathogenic microbes or microorganisms using human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum, the metabolites, the cell lysate or postbiotic of human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum, and Janthinobacterium lividum containing compositions, formulations and products, for cosmetic and consumer uses.

3. BACKGROUND

Topical infections of the skin, nails, mucosa and mucous cavities by pathogenic microorganisms is a health problem for a large number of humans and subjects. These microorganisms cause a variety of bacterial, viral, yeast and fungal infections. These conditions may arise out of a dysbiosis of the skin, nails, mucosa and mucous cavities, allowing for a pathogenic microorganism and/or a community of pathogenic microorganisms to establish.
There are a variety of infections, such as bacterial, viral, yeast and/or fungal infections, that affect a relatively large number of the human population. Potentially pathogenic fungi include yeasts (e.g., Candida albicans) and dermatophytes. Dermatophytes are molds that require keratin for nutrition and must live on stratum corneum, hair, or nails to survive. Human infections are caused by Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton species. Trichophyton rubrum is responsible for approximately 46% to 72% of cutaneous and nail mycoses worldwide. Research studies have established that Trichophyton rubrum, the most common dermatophyte, and Staphylococcus aureus are the causal microbes for Tinea pedis and atopic dermatitis, respectively. Onychomycosis, a common and persistent fungal infection, is diagnosed in two to eight percent of the global population. The disease causes disfigurement of nails and/or pain. Treatments for dermatophytoses includes antifungal topical products (e.g., terbinafine, itraconazole, miconazole, etc.) and/or systemic therapy. The ineffectiveness and toxicity of some long-term treatments as well as anti-fungal drug resistance and recurrence of infection has resulted in a need for an alternative treatment.
Described herein are compositions and methods for using human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum for treating, inhibiting or preventing pathogenic microorganisms. The compositions and methods are useful in modulating the microbiome to effectively inhibit, treat or prevent microbial infections. These compositions and methods comprise products of the object of this invention, human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum.
Also described herein are topical and cosmetic compositions and methods for improving skin health, reducing the effects of exposure to sun, and aging, using human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum.

It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed.
Described herein is the probiotic bacterium human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum. Described herein are compositions comprising the probiotic bacterium human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum which have antimicrobial and other beneficial properties. The human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum is adapted to the human host, ensuring that it is safe for human application and is equipped to survive on a human host at least long enough to be therapeutically effective. A preferred composition is a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum in an amount effective to treat, inhibit or prevent a topical pathogenic microorganism. Another preferred composition is a synthetic composition comprising the probiotic human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum formulated for topical application to modulated the microbiome of the object of application.

It will be understood by the skilled person that as used herein the term “probiotic” refers to a live microorganism, microbe or living culture (including bacterium or yeasts for example) which, provided in sufficient numbers, beneficially affects the host organism, i.e. by conferring one or more demonstrable health benefits on the host organism. A “probiotic bacterium” or “probiotic microorganism” or “probiotic microbe” or “probiotic culture” or “probiotic bacteria” is a bacterium, microorganism, microbe, culture or bacteria which, provided in sufficient numbers, beneficially affects the host organism, i.e. by conferring one or more demonstrable health benefits on the host organism.
As used herein, the term “cell lysate” or “lysate” refers to probiotic cells which have been lysed by any suitable means. In preferred embodiments, the cell debris is removed prior to use. In more preferred embodiments the cell lysates are filtered prior to use. In exemplary embodiments, the cells are lysed by, for example sonication, homogenization, shearing or chemical lysis.
As used herein the term “postbiotic” refers to functional bioactive compounds, generated by a probiotic, which may be used to promote health. The term postbiotics can be regarded as an umbrella term for all synonyms and related terms of these microbial components. Therefore, postbiotics can include many different constituents including metabolites, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs, e.g. acetic, propionic and butyric acid), microbial cell fractions, functional proteins, extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), cell lysates, teichoic acid, phenyllactic acid, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), B-vitamin synthesis (biotin, cobalamin, folates, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine), peptidoglycan-derived muropeptides, antimicrobial peptides (AMP) and pili-type structures.
Probiotic bacterium suitable for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, human-derived Janthinobacterium and any additional non-pathogenic microbe such as, Bifidobacterium, Brevibacterium, Propionibacterium, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus (e.g., L. acidophilus), Enterococcus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, and/or Oenococcus.
Soluble metabolites for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, soluble metabolites from human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum and any additional non-pathogenic microbe such as, Bifidobacterium, Brevibacterium, Propionibacterium, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus (e.g., L. acidophilus), Enterococcus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, and/or Oenococcus.
Cell lysates for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, cell lysates from human-derived Janthinobacterium and any additional non-pathogenic microbe such as, Bifidobacterium, Brevibacterium, Propionibacterium, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus (e.g., L. acidophilus), Enterococcus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, and/or Oenococcus.
As used herein, the term “soluble metabolite” refers to a metabolite or metabolites present in the supernatant of a cell culture from which the cells have been removed. In preferred embodiments the culture is grown to a cell density of at least about OD₆₀₀0.5. In a further preferred embodiment, the cells are removed by centrifugation. In a more preferred embodiment, the supernatant is filtered. It will be apparent that the supernatant may be used directly in the formulations of the present invention, or that one or more of the metabolites may be isolated form the supernatant by any suitable means prior to use.
When used herein, the term topical includes references to formulations that are adapted for application to body surfaces (e.g. the skin, mucosa or mucous membranes). The skin includes the exterior surfaces such as finger and toenails. Mucous membranes, or mucosa, that may be mentioned in this respect include the mucosa of the vagina, the penis, the urethra, the bladder, the anus, the colon, the mouth (including the mucosa of the cheek, the soft palate, the under surface of tongue and the floor of the mouth), the nose, the throat (including the mucosa of the pharynx, the larynx, the trachea and the esophagus), the bronchi, the lungs, the eye and the ear.
The term “ameliorating” refers to any therapeutically beneficial result in the treatment of a disease state, e.g., a metabolic disease state, including prophylaxis, lessening in the severity or progression, remission, or cure thereof.
The term “in situ” refers to processes that occur in a living cell growing separate from a living organism, e.g., growing in tissue culture.
The term “in vivo” refers to processes that occur in a living organism.
The term “mammal” as used herein includes both humans and non-humans and includes but is not limited to humans, non-human primates, canines, felines, murines, bovines, equines, and porcines.
As used herein, the term “derived from” includes microbes, microorganisms or other living culture immediately taken from an environmental sample and also microbes, microorganisms or other living culture isolated from an environmental source and subsequently grown in a pure culture or isolate.
As used herein, the term “strain” is defined as any nucleic acid sequence that is 97% or greater identical to a defined 16s rRNA nucleic acid sequence. More preferred embodiments of strain is a nucleic acid sequence that is greater than 98%, greater than 99% identical to a defined 16s rRNA nucleic acid sequence.
The term “percent identical,” in the context of two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that have a specified percentage of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the sequence comparison algorithms described below (e.g., BLASTP and BLASTN or other algorithms available to persons of skill) or by visual inspection. Depending on the application, the percent “identical” can exist over a region of the sequence being compared, e.g., over a functional domain, or, alternatively, exist over the full length of the two sequences to be compared. In some aspects, percent identical is defined with respect to a region useful for characterizing phylogenetic similarity of two or more organisms, including two or more microorganisms. Percent identical in these circumstances can be determined by identifying such sequences within the context of a larger sequence, that can include sequences introduced by cloning or sequencing manipulations such as, e.g., primers, adapters, etc., and analyzing the percent identical in the regions of interest, without including in those analyses introduced sequences that do not inform phylogenetic similarity.
For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequent coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identical for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters.
Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by visual inspection (see generally Ausubel et al., infra).
One example of an algorithm that is suitable for determining percent sequence identical and sequence similarity is the BLAST algorithm, which is described in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990). Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The term “sufficient amount” means an amount sufficient to produce a desired effect, e.g., an amount sufficient to alter the microbial content of a subject's microbiota.
The term “therapeutic amount” is an amount of an anti-microbial, for example an anti-fungal or anti-bacterial, compound that is prescribed. Concentrations below those typically prescribed are termed “sub-therapeutic” amounts.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” is an amount that is effective to ameliorate a symptom of a disease. A therapeutically effective amount can be a “prophylactically effective amount” as prophylaxis can be considered therapy.
As used herein the term “method” refers to manners, means, techniques and procedures for accomplishing a given task including, but not limited to, those manners, means, techniques and procedures either known to, or readily developed from known manners, means, techniques and procedures by practitioners of the chemical, pharmacological, biological, biochemical and medical arts.
As used herein, the term “inhibit”, “inhibiting” or “inhibition” includes stopping the progression of a condition or growth, substantially preventing a condition or growth or substantially treating a condition or undesired growth.

As used herein, the term “preventing” or “prevention” includes completely or substantially reducing the likelihood or occurrence or the severity of initial clinical or aesthetical symptoms of a condition.
As used herein, the term “pathogen” refers to the disease, disorder or condition and to the microorganism associated with the disease or infection. For example: Tinea barbae is a dermatophyte infection of the beard area most often caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes or T. verrucosum. verrucosum. Tinea capitis is a dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans, Microsporum canis and M. audouinii; other Trichophyton species (e.g., T. schoenleinii, T. violaceum).

Tinea cruris is a dermatophytosis that is commonly caused by Trichophyton rubrum or T. mentagrophytes. Tinea pedis is a dermatophyte infection of the feet commonly caused by T. rubrum. Dermatophytid (identity or id) reactions are protean; they are not related to localized growth of the fungus but rather are an inflammatory reaction to a dermatophytosis elsewhere on the body. Other disease, disorder, or conditions related to, but not limited, atopic dermatitis, impetigo, skin and soft tissue infections, are often caused gram positive bacterium and Staphylococcus.
As used herein, the term “about” includes variation of up to approximately +/−10% and that allows for functional equivalence in the product.

Janthinobacterium
Janthinobacterium is genus of Gram negative, betaproteobacteria that are commonly found in many environmental niches, including the human body. Janthinobacterium lividum was identified for its ability to protect amphibians from fungal infection. In some embodiments, the strain of Janthinobacterium lividum is isolated from an environmental source. In a preferred embodiment, the strain of Janthinobacterium lividum is originally derived from a human source. In an embodiment, a human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum strain demonstrates superior persistence on human skin compared to a reference strain. In an embodiment, a human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum strain demonstrates superior or overproduction of a metabolite or postbiotics compared to a reference strain. In such embodiments, a reference Janthinobacterium lividum strain may be a strain isolated from a different environmental niche, such as salamander skin, produce, or the like. Janthinobacterium lividum produces several metabolites with antimicrobial effects: violacein, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, prodigiosin, salicylate, 2,4-diamabutyrate and one or more lantibiotics. Violacein is a bisindole compound known for its purple color and antimicrobial properties. Indole-3-carboxaldehye has a role as a plant metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite, a bacterial metabolite and a marine metabolite. It is a heteroarene carbaldehyde, an indole alkaloid and a member of indoles. Prodigiosin is an alkaloid, red-pigmented, secondary metabolite, often associated with Serratia species. Prodigiosin molecules are identified by their common pyrrolyl pyrromethene skeleton, and have been shown to have a variety of biological activities, including antimicrobial activity.
Lantibiotics, a subset of bacteriocins, are genetically-encoded peptides containing intramolecular ring structures, many of which have been shown to have antimicrobial properties. Lantibiotic peptides are modified post-translationally to create their characteristic ring structures. One of the most well-known lantibiotic is nisin.
In some embodiments, the Janthinobacterium strain is compared to a reference strain. In some embodiments, the reference strain is another Janthinobacterium strain isolated from another environmental niche. In some embodiments, the human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum of this application is compared to a Janthinobacterium lividum strain isolated from an amphibian species and found to provide a benefit over the amphibian-derived species and plant-derived species. In some embodiments, the benefit is increased longevity on human skin. In some embodiments, the benefit is increased production of violacein, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, prodigiosin, salicylate, 2,4-diamabutyrate and one or more lantibiotics. In some embodiments, the benefit is increased production of 2-(alpha-D-mannosyl)-D-glyceric acid, 2-ketogluconate, 2-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, anthramycin, Aprobarbital, bendiocarb, Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, cis-5-Tetradecenoylcarnitine, Dibutyl phthalate, imidazole propionate, indole-3-carboxylate, indolin-2-one, N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid, Phosphoric acid, Phthalic acid, Pimilprost, trimethadione, and Vemolate.
In some embodiments, a human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum or an isolated human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum over produces or over expresses its compounds (e.g., metabolites, e.g., violacein, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, prodigiosin, salicylate, 2,4-diamabutyrate and one or more lantibiotics) relative to other strains (e.g., a reference strain). As used, the terms “over produce” and “over express” refer to at least 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 2.5-fold, or 3-fold more production or more expression (respectively) relative to other strains (e.g., a reference strain). In such embodiments, a reference Janthinobacterium lividum strain may be a strain isolated from a different environmental niche, such as salamander skin, produce, or the like. As used, the term “over produce” refers to the production of the compounds (e.g., metabolites) by the organism, and the term “over expresses” refers to the expression of a gene that produces the compounds (e.g., metabolites).
Prebiotics
Prebiotics, in accordance with the teachings of this invention, comprise compositions that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Prebiotic substances can be consumed by a relevant probiotic, or otherwise assist in keeping the relevant probiotic alive or stimulate its growth. When applied or consumed in an effective amount, prebiotics also beneficially affect a subject's naturally-occurring microbiome and thereby impart health benefits. Prebiotic foods enter the colon and serve as substrate for the endogenous bacteria, thereby indirectly providing the host with energy, metabolic substrates, and essential micronutrients. Prebiotics can also be added to any probiotic composition to enhance effectiveness or longevity of the probiotic strains.
Prebiotics help probiotics flourish in their environment, and accordingly, their health benefits are largely indirect. For example, metabolites generated by colonic fermentation by intestinal microflora, such as short-chain fatty acids, can play important functional roles in the health of the host. Prebiotics can be useful agents for enhancing the ability of human microflora to provide benefits to their host.
Prebiotics, in accordance with the embodiments of this invention, include, without limitation, amino acids, glycerol, mucopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, nutrient precursors, proteins, and combinations thereof.
According to particular embodiments, compositions comprise a prebiotic comprising, without limitation, amino acids, glycerol, polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. These compounds have the ability to increase the number of probiotics and augment their associated benefits. For example, an increase of beneficial Bifidobacteria likely changes the intestinal pH to support the increase of Bifidobacteria, thereby decreasing pathogenic organisms.
Non-limiting examples of oligosaccharides that are categorized as prebiotics in accordance with particular embodiments include galactooligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, inulins, isomalto-oligosaccharides, lactilol, lactosucrose, lactulose, pyrodextrins, soy oligosaccharides, transgalacto-oligosaccharides, and xylo-oligosaccharides.
According to other particular embodiments, compositions comprise a prebiotic comprising an amino acid.
In an embodiment, a prebiotic is included to increase production of one or more beneficial metabolites. In an embodiment, tryptophan and/or glycerol are included to increase production of violacein.
In an embodiment, a prebiotic is added that additionally serves as a cryoprotectant.
Dosage for the compositions described herein are deemed to be “effective doses,” indicating that the probiotic or prebiotic composition is administered in a sufficient quantity to alter the physiology of a subject in a desired manner.
Preferred embodiments are prebiotics that improve the growth of human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum such as those selected from D-Mannitol, Tween 20, Tween 40 and Cytidine
Preferred embodiments are prebiotics that enhance the function of human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum such as those selected from the Table 1.

Rehydration of the desiccated human-derived Janthinobacterium lividum produces at least 20% viable bacterium, at least 30%, at least 50% viable bacterium.
Compositions disclosed herein are compositions, wherein the composition is at least 30% viable at room temperature for at least thirty days. Also disclosed are compositions that are at least 1%, at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 50% viable for at least 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 or at least 360 days.
In some embodiments the compositions are pharmaceutical compositions. In some embodiments the compositions are synthetic compositions. In some embodiments the compositions are cosmetic compositions. In some embodiments the compositions are probiotic compositions.
Compositions disclosed herein may be presented in a formulation that includes one or more excipients to improve any one or more of shelf-life, application, skin penetration, and therapeutic effect. In some embodiments, the excipient is necessary to improve any one or more of shelf-life, application, skin penetration, and therapeutic effect.
Compositions disclosed herein may be in a topical dosage form, wherein the topical dosage form provides easy application to a surface, such as skin, nails, hair, and/or mucosa. The surface may be a surface that comes in contact with a subject.
In certain embodiments, the Janthinobacterium probiotic compositions described herein are formulated for oral ingestion. The oral ingestion form may be a pill, tablet, capsule, paste, liquid suspension, colloid, or mixed with various foods such as candies, chews, yogurt, milk, cottage cheese or non-dairy based or lactose reduced substitutes. The formulation may contain additional non-active ingredients that improve flavor, smell, or texture of the edible composition. The formulation may also include binding agents, encapsulating films, or excipients that preserve shelf-life and bioavailability.
An emulsion may be described as a preparation of one liquid distributed in small globules throughout the body of a second liquid. In some embodiments, the dispersed liquid is the discontinuous phase, and the dispersion medium is the continuous phase. When oil is the dispersed liquid and an aqueous solution is the continuous phase, it is known as an oil-in-water emulsion, whereas when water or aqueous solution is the dispersed phase and oil or oleaginous substance is the continuous phase, it is known as a water-in-oil emulsion. The oil phase may consist at least in part of a propellant, such as an HFA propellant. Either or both of the oil phase and the aqueous phase may contain one or more surfactants, emulsifiers, emulsion stabilizers, buffers, and other excipients. Preferred excipients include surfactants, especially non-ionic surfactants; emulsifying agents, especially emulsifying waxes; and liquid non-volatile non-aqueous materials, particularly glycols such as propylene glycol. The oil phase may contain other oily pharmaceutically approved excipients. For example, materials such as hydroxylated castor oil or sesame oil may be used in the oil phase as surfactants or emulsifiers.
A lotion may be described as a low- to medium-viscosity liquid formulation. A lotion can contain finely powdered substances that are in soluble in the dispersion medium through the use of suspending agents and dispersing agents. Alternatively, lotions can have as the dispersed phase liquid substances that are immiscible with the vehicle and are usually dispersed by means of emulsifying agents or other suitable stabilizers. In one embodiment, the lotion is in the form of an emulsion having a viscosity of between 100 and 1000 centistokes. The fluidity of lotions permits rapid and uniform application over a wide surface area. Lotions are typically intended to dry on the skin leaving a thin coat of their medicinal components on the skin's surface.
A cream may be described as a viscous liquid or semi-solid emulsion of either the “oil-in-water” or “water-in-oil type”. Creams may contain emulsifying agents and/or other stabilizing agents. In one embodiment, the formulation is in the form of a cream having a viscosity of greater than 1000 centistokes, typically in the range of 20,000-50,000 centistokes. Creams are often time preferred over ointments as they are generally easier to spread and easier to remove.
The basic difference between a cream and a lotion is the viscosity, which is dependent on the amount/use of various oils and the percentage of water used to prepare the formulations. Creams are typically thicker than lotions, may have various uses and often one uses more varied oils/butters, depending upon the desired effect upon the skin. In a cream formulation, the water-base percentage is about 60-75% and the oil-base is about 20-30% of the total, with the other percentages being the emulsifier agent, preservatives and additives for a total of 100%.
An ointment may be described as a semisolid preparation containing an ointment base and optionally one or more active agents of this disclosure. Examples of suitable ointment bases include hydrocarbon bases (e.g., petrolatum, white petrolatum, yellow ointment, and mineral oil); absorption bases (hydrophilic c, anhydrous lanolin, lanolin, and cold cream); water-removable bases (e.g., hydrophilic ointment), and water-soluble bases (e.g., polyethylene glycol ointments). Pastes typically differ from ointments in that they contain a larger percentage of solids. Pastes are typically more absorptive and less greasy that ointments prepared with the same components.
A gel may be described as a semisolid system containing dispersions of small or large molecules in a liquid vehicle that is rendered semisolid by the action of a thickening agent or polymeric material dissolved or suspended in the liquid vehicle. The liquid may include a lipophilic component, an aqueous component or both. Some emulsions may be gels or otherwise include a gel component. Some gels, however, are not emulsions because they do not contain a homogenized blend of immiscible components. Suitable gelling agents include, but are not limited to, modified celluloses, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose; Carbopol homopolymers and copolymers; and combinations thereof. Suitable solvents in the liquid vehicle include, but are not limited to, diglycol monoethyl ether; alkene glycols, such as propylene glycol; dimethyl isosorbide; alcohols, such as isopropyl alcohol and ethanol. The solvents are typically selected for their ability to dissolve the drug. Other additives, which improve the skin feel and/or emolliency of the formulation, may also be incorporated. Examples of such additives include, but are not limited, isopropyl myristate, ethyl acetate, C12-C15 alkyl benzoates, mineral oil, squalane, cyclomethicone, capric/caprylic triglycerides, and combinations thereof.
Foams may be described as an emulsion in combination with a gaseous propellant. The gaseous propellant consists primarily of hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs). Suitable propellants include HFAs such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFA 134a) and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFA 227), but mixtures and admixtures of these and other HFAs that are currently approved or may become approved for medical use are suitable. The propellants preferably are not hydrocarbon propellant gases which can produce flammable or explosive vapors during spraying. Furthermore, the compositions preferably contain no volatile alcohols, which can produce flammable or explosive vapors during use.
Emollients may be described as externally applied agents that soften or soothe skin and are generally known in the art and listed in compendia, such as the “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients”, 4th Ed., Pharmaceutical Press, 2003.

The methods and compositions described herein can be used to treat and or prevent infections resulting from growth of parasitic microorganisms susceptible to metabolites produced by human-derived Janthinobacteria lividum. These microbes can be bacteria, viruses, yeast or fungi.
In an embodiment, the infection is an onychomycosis. In an embodiment, the infection is Tinea pedis. In an embodiment, the infection is atopic dermatitis. In an embodiment, the infection is impetigo. In an embodiment, the infection is of the skin or soft tissue.
In an embodiment, the infection is caused by a dermatophyte. In an embodiment, the infection is caused by a Malassezia species. In an embodiment, the infection is caused by a Trichophyton species. In an embodiment, the infection is caused by Staphylococcus species. In an embodiment, the infection is caused by Trichophyton rubrum. In an embodiment, the infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In an embodiment, the infection is caused by a gram positive bacteria.
Prior to administration of the compositions of this invention, the subject or patient may optionally have a pretreatment protocol to prepare the skin to receive the bacterial composition. In certain embodiments, the pretreatment protocol is advisable, such as when a patient has an acute infection with a highly resilient pathogen. In other embodiments, the pretreatment protocol is entirely optional, such as when the pathogen causing the infection is not resilient, or the patient has had an acute infection that has been successfully treated but where the physician is concerned that the infection may recur. In these instances, the pretreatment protocol may enhance the ability of the bacterial composition to affect the patient's microbiome.
As one way of preparing the patient for administration of the microbial ecosystem, at least one antibiotic or antifungal may be administered to alter the microbes on the patient. This may be applied orally or topically.
If a patient has received an antibiotic for treatment of an infection, or if a patient has received an antibiotic as part of a specific pretreatment protocol, in one embodiment the antibiotic should be stopped in sufficient time to allow the antibiotic to be substantially reduced in concentration on the skin before the bacterial composition is administered. In one embodiment, the antibiotic may be discontinued 1, 2, or 3 days before the administration of the bacterial composition. In one embodiment, the antibiotic may be discontinued 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 antibiotic half-lives before administration of the bacterial composition. In another embodiment, the antibiotic may be chosen so the constituents in the bacterial composition have an MIC50 that is higher than the concentration of the antibiotic on the skin.
MIC50 of a bacterial composition or the elements in the composition may be determined by methods well known in the art Reller et al., Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: A Review of General Principles and Contemporary Practices, Clinical Infectious Diseases 49(11):1749-1755 (2009). In such an embodiment, the additional time between antibiotic administration and administration of the bacterial composition is not necessary. If the pretreatment protocol is part of treatment of an acute infection, the antibiotic may be chosen so that the infection is sensitive to the antibiotic, but the constituents in the bacterial composition are not sensitive to the antibiotic.
In some embodiments, the skin of the subject is pre-treated with a detergent substance to decrease the amount of skin pathogen prior to application of the Janthinobacterium probiotic composition.
In some embodiments, the Janthinobacterium probiotic is pretreated with a substance to increase production of a beneficial metabolite. In some embodiments, the probiotic is incubated in the presence of a prebiotic to increase production of violacein, such as glycerol or tryptophan.
Methods of Manufacture
Any of the compositions described herein, including the pharmaceutical compositions, articles of manufacture, and food or household products comprising the compositions, may contain bacterial strains in any form, for example in an aqueous form, such as a solution or a suspension, embedded in a semi-solid form, in a powdered form or freeze dried form. In some embodiments, the composition or the bacterial strains of the composition are lyophilized. In some embodiments, a subset of the bacterial strains in a composition is lyophilized. Methods of lyophilizing compositions, specifically compositions comprising bacteria, are well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,261,761; 4,205,132; PCT Publications WO 2014/029578 and WO 2012/098358, herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. The bacterium may be lyophilized as a combination and/or the bacterium may be lyophilized separately and combined prior to administration. A bacterial strain may be combined with a pharmaceutical excipient prior to combining it with the other bacterial strain or multiple lyophilized bacterium may be combined while in lyophilized form and the mixture of bacteria, once combined may be subsequently be combined with a pharmaceutical excipient. In some embodiments, the bacterial strain is a lyophilized cake. In some embodiments, the compositions comprising the one or more bacterial strains are a lyophilized cake.
The bacterial strains of the composition can be manufactured using fermentation techniques well known in the art. In some embodiments, the active ingredients are manufactured using anaerobic fermenters, which can support the rapid growth of anaerobic bacterial species. The anaerobic fermenters may be, for example, stirred tank reactors or disposable wave bioreactors. Culture media such as BL media and EG media, or similar versions of these media devoid of animal components, can be used to support the growth of the bacterial species. The bacterial product can be purified and concentrated from the fermentation broth by traditional techniques, such as centrifugation and filtration, and can optionally be dried and lyophilized by techniques well known in the art.
In some embodiments, the composition of bacterial strains may be formulated for administration as a pharmaceutical composition. The term “pharmaceutical composition” as used herein means a product that results from the mixing or combining of at least one active ingredient, such as any two or more purified bacterial strains described herein, and one or more inactive ingredients, which may include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
An “acceptable” excipient refers to an excipient that must be compatible with the active ingredient and not deleterious to the subject to which it is administered. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is selected based on the intended route of administration of the composition, for example a composition for oral or nasal administration may comprise a different pharmaceutically acceptable excipient than a composition for rectal administration. Examples of excipients include sterile water, physiological saline, solvent, a base material, an emulsifier, a suspending agent, a surfactant, a stabilizer, a flavoring agent, an aromatic, an excipient, a vehicle, a preservative, a binder, a diluent, a tonicity adjusting agent, a soothing agent, a bulking agent, a disintegrating agent, a buffer agent, a coating agent, a lubricant, a colorant, a sweetener, a thickening agent, and a solubilizer.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be prepared in accordance with methods well known and routinely practiced in the art (see e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Mack Publishing Co. 20th ed. 2000). The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may further comprise any carriers or stabilizers in the form of a lyophilized formulation or an aqueous solution. Acceptable excipients, carriers, or stabilizers may include, for example, buffers, antioxidants, preservatives, polymers, chelating reagents, and/or surfactants. Pharmaceutical compositions are preferably manufactured under GMP conditions. The pharmaceutical compositions can be used orally, nasally or parenterally, for instance, in the form of capsules, tablets, pills, sachets, liquids, powders, granules, fine granules, film-coated preparations, pellets, troches, sublingual preparations, chewables, buccal preparations, pastes, syrups, suspensions, elixirs, emulsions, liniments, ointments, plasters, cataplasms, transdermal absorption systems, lotions, inhalations, aerosols, injections, suppositories, and the like.

7. EXAMPLES

7.1. Example 1: Isolation of Human Janthinobacterium lividum

Materials & Methods
Samples for Bioprospecting
Samples were sourced and collected from various sources. Skin microbiome samples were collected from 18-25 year old young healthy adult subjects following standard scrubbing/swabbing procedures using eSwab tubes (Fisher, Cat. No. 23-600-900). Samples were collected from scalp, forehead, nose, antecubital fossa, palm, heel, and toe web space for each subject.
Produce samples were obtained from farmer's market and from farms.
Strain Isolation
Human skin samples were either processed directly or stored at −80° C. with DMSO as cryoprotectant and thawed at room temperature for processing. Skin samples were plated onto BHI and R2A agar plates supplied with 1% glycerol following standard microbial practice after being diluted to the extent of 100-300 colonies per plate. Plates were incubated at ambient temperature for 3-5 days and visually checked for bacterial colonies with purple pigment.
Produce samples were first chopped into smaller pieces using a pair of scissors briefly cleaned with ethanol wipes. Approximately 50 grams of chopped pieces were mixed with 10 ml sterile 1×PBS buffer in a 50 ml Falcon tube prefilled with 20-30 sterile 5-mm glass beads and vortexed at top speed for 5 min. After vortexing, let the tubes sat at for 5-10 min to allow plant debris settle down to the bottom. The mixture was passed through a 40 μm cell strainer. 100 μl of filtered liquid were plated onto BHI and R2A plates with 1% glycerol after being diluted to the extent of 100-300 colonies per plate. Plates were incubated at ambient temperature for 3-5 days and visually checked for bacterial colonies with purple pigment.
Molecular Identification of Janthinobacterium lividum Strains
All purple colonies were purified by subculturing and confirmed as Janthinobacterium lividum strains via 16S rRNA sequencing. DNA was extracted from purified purple colonies and amplified using a thermal cycler using the standard 27F/1492R primer pair. PCR products were checked on E-gel before submission for Sanger sequencing. Taxonomic information was determined by search obtained sequences against NCBI database.
Results, Interpretations and Conclusions
Approximately 700 skin samples were collected from 35 subjects. Two samples, from two individual subjects, yielded one and over 50 purple colonies (FIG. 1), respectively. One purple colony was isolated on a R2A plate from a heel sample and confirmed as Janthinobacterium lividum (FIG. 1, panel A). Another forehead sample yielded over 50 purple colonies on BHI agar plates (FIG. 1, panel B). Molecular identification indicated that 5 randomly selected purple colonies are all Janthinobacterium lividum.
Young seedlings of several produce samples were processed, including radish, garlic, spinach, basil, beet, asparagus, chives, tomato, swiss chad, lettuce, and pepper. For example, three purple colonies were isolated from a radish sample (FIG. 1, panel C).

7.2. Example 2: Genetic Studies

Summary
To survey the prevalence of Janthinobacterium lividum on human skins, approximately 700 skin microbiome samples collected from 42 healthy young adults were screened by quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay. Additionally, Shotgun-sequencing was performed on approximately 156 skin microbiome samples collected from 9 healthy young adults. Results indicated that 19% of subjects have Janthinobacterium lividum on their skin by qPCR and all 9 subjects have Janthinobacterium lividum on their skin by shotgun sequencing. Shotgun sequencing analysis also showed that Janthinobacterium lividum was detected on multiple anatomical sites and on multiple sample collection visits, indicating that Janthinobacterium lividum, aside from being identified in soil, amphibians, and plants, is ubiquitously present on human skin.
Genetic analyses and molecular evolution study of Janthinobacterium lividum strains disclosed herein together with strains with published genome sequences showed that Janthinobacterium lividum strains fell into at least four distinct subgroups and each subgroup consists of Janthinobacterium lividum strains isolated from various sources including soil, plant, amphibian, and human skin.
Materials & Methods
qPCR Screening of Janthinobacterium lividum from Human Skin Microbiome Samples
Molecular screening of Janthinobacterium lividum was performed using SensiFAST SYBR No-ROX kit (Bioline) in a 10 μl reaction in duplicates on a CFX real-time PCR detection system (BioRad) following instructions. The screenings were carried out sequentially using two set of primer pairs, Janthinobacterium-specific (Janthino2F2, GCACGGAAGTGACCAAAAA and Janthino2R2, ACATGGAGACTTGGGCTTTG) and violacein-specific (JlivF, TACCACGAATTGCTGTGCCAGTTG and JlivR, ACACGCTCCAGGTATACGTCTTCA).
Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing and Genome Sequence Assembly
Shotgun sequencing library for each Janthinobacterium lividum strain was generated using the Nextera Flex kit manufactured by Illumina according to the instructions.
The shotgun libraries were pooled and sequenced in a HiSeq X platform. The sequencing reads were automatically demultiplexed into individual FASTA files, run through DermBiont's bioinformatic analysis pipeline yielding a genome assembled from cleaned sequencing reads.
Nucleotide-Level Genome Similarity of Janthinobacterium lividum Strains
Genome sequences of 5 Janthinobacterium lividum strains (JL001, JL002, JL004, JL005, and JL007), along with several published Janthinobacterium lividum genomes, were run through Average Nucleotide Identify (ANI, https://img.jgi.doe.gov/docs/docs/ANI.pdf) analyses to determine the similarity and genetic diversity.
Phylogenomic Analysis of Janthinobacterium lividum Genome Sequences
Phylogenomic relationships of Janthinobacterium lividum strains, including Janthinobacterium lividum strains described herein and strains with published genomic sequences, were evaluated using the RAxML package following the instructions.
Results, Interpretations, and Conclusions
704 skin microbiome samples collected from 42 young healthy adults from various anatomical sites including scalp, forehead, alar crease, antecubital fossa, palm, heel, and toe web space were screened. qPCR screening revealed 116 and 30 positive samples using the Janthinobacterium-specific primer pairs and violacein-specific primer pairs, respectively (Table 2). As expected, 8 samples from 8 individual subjects were positive for both probe sets (Table 2), suggesting that approximately 19% of the subjects tested have Janthinobacterium lividum on their skin.

# J. lividum − Violacein+	30	—
# J. lividum + Violacein+	8	8

To further evaluate the prevalence and abundance of Janthinobacterium lividum in skin microbiome samples, metagenomic shotgun sequencing of a total of 127 skin microbiome samples from 9 young healthy subjects across 7 anatomical sites in 3 sample collection visits was performed. Owing to the high sensitivity of shotgun sequencing approach, a higher percentage of Janthinobacterium lividum positive samples than qPCR screening were anticipated. Indeed, and not surprisingly, all 9 subjects have Janthinobacterium lividum on their skin samples in multiple anatomical sites or multiple sampling visits (FIG. 2). On average, Janthinobacterium lividum DNA accounts for 0.4% of overall skin microbial DNA with a high abundance in antecubital fossa and palm and very low abundance in foot area (FIG. 2).
ANI estimates the average nucleotide identity using both best hits and reciprocal best hits between two genomes (enve-omics.ce.gatech.edu/ani/). 8 published Janthinobacterium lividum genomes were downloaded and compared with internally isolated Janthinobacterium lividum genome sequences for ANI analysis. To further evaluate evolutionary relationship of Janthinobacterium lividum strains, phylogenomic trees of all Janthinobacterium lividum strains were constructed using whole genome sequences. There are at least 4 distinct subgroups of Janthinobacterium lividum (FIG. 3). Furthermore, each subgroup consists of Janthinobacterium lividum collected from various sources including soil, plant, amphibian, and human skin (FIG. 3).

7.3. Example 3: Identification of Prebiotics

Using the PM1 through PM5 10 phenotype MicroArrays for Microbial Cells form Biolog, Hayward, Calif., USA we identified compounds that, when used in the formulation, lyophilization, fermentation, and or vehicle of delivery for the bacterium Janthinobacterium lividum and its constituent products to increase growth rates (Table 3) and/or functional efficacy (Table 4) against inhibiting microbial pathogens, such as but not limited to, bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus; fungal pathogens including but not limited to, Trichophyton, Malassezia, Candida; DNA and RNA viruses including but not limited to poliovirus, herpes simplex virus, hepatitis A, rotavirus, adenovirus, H1N1, Coronavirus and influenza type A.

Extraction and quantification of violacein and prodigiosin are well known in the art and can be done using standard techniques.
Violacein production can be quantified by measuring absorbance of bacterial culture at 580 nm and 764 nm using a spectrophotometer. By subtracting the value at 764 nm from the value at 580 nm, the contribution to absorbance by the bacterial cells is removed and the remaining value quantifies violacein levels.
Levels of prodigiosin can be measured similarly, by extracting the pigment in acidified ethanol. Prodigiosin in acidified ethanol displays a characteristic wavelength of 535 nm. Estimation of prodigiosin can be expressed as unit/cell after measuring the absorbance at 600 nm at the end of incubation.

7.4. Example 4: Manufacturing

Summary
Janthinobacterium lividum DB02473 was grown in fermenters at 5 L scale. Fermenters were inoculated from 14-15 h old shake flask culture inoculum, and growth was monitored by measuring absorbance at 600 nm. Fermentor culture was harvested aseptically and cell pellet was resuspended in formulation buffer containing cryoprotectants and stabilizers, to prepare frozen formulation or lyophilized formulation. The final formulated product was tested for viability, purity, and functional activity against pathogens T. rubrum and S. aureus, before and after dilution to 10⁸, 10⁷and 10⁶CFU/ml. Purity was >99.99%, there was zero to minimal drop in viability and no change in activity between undiluted and diluted samples.
Materials & Methods
Microbial Strains
Trichophyton rubrum strain 18754 was purchased from ATCC and maintained according to instructions. Janthinobacterium lividum strain JL007 cryostock 2 was stored at −80° C. with either DMSO or glycerol as cryoprotectant. S. aureus strain 25923 was purchased from ATCC and maintained according to instructions.
Purity Assay
Shake flask cultures used to inoculate the fermenters and harvested culture resuspended in the cryoprotectant vehicle were diluted such that plating of 100 μl would lead to an estimated 100-300 colonies per plate. This estimate was based on the absorbance at 600 nm reading and past experience where 1 OD unit was 5×10⁸CFU/ml. 6-10 plates of LB50 agar or BHI supplemented with 0.5% glycerol agar were spread plated with 100 μl of culture. Plates were incubated at room temperature for up to one week and were monitored for non-Janthinobacterium lividum growth.
Viability Assay
At harvest, the absorbance at 600 nm was measured and the CFU/ml calculated assuming that 1 OD unit was equal to 5×10{circumflex over ( )}8 CFU/ml. One sample was plated immediately as described below and another sample was taken on ice to the lab and analyzed for T. rubrum activity using the Ramsey assay (see below) and the Staphylococcus antibiosis assay and plated for counts again. Additionally, 3 samples were then made from the harvest to equal 10⁸, 10⁷and 10⁶CFU/ml. 100 μl from each dilution was added to the first well of a 96 well plate in triplicate. 30 μl was removed from this well and added to 270 μl of sterile PBS in the second well of the 96 well plate. A pipette with 100 μl volume was used to mix this before tips were changed and 30 μl removed from this second well and transferred in to a third well with 270 μl sterile PBS. A 100 μl volume was used to mix the culture. In this way 7 serial 10-fold dilutions were made to the original 10-fold dilution. 10 μl spots of each dilution were spotted on to an LB50 agar plate from each of the 3 replicate dilutions and allowed to dry. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 2 days and CFU were counted. CFU/ml was calculated using the dilution factors of the spot counts.
Ramsey In Vitro Antibiosis Assay
In vitro assay was set up following the procedure reported by Ramsey et al. (2015) and optimized by DermBiont. Briefly, 24-hour Janthinobacterium lividum culture grown in 50% LB-vegitone (LB50), to roughly 2×10⁹CFU/ml, was struck out onto 33% Tryptone agar plates in two straight lines using a cotton swab, one perpendicular to the other, such that a cross was formed on the plate. Conidia spores of T. rubrum were harvested from about 2-week old culture grown on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, counted using a hemocytometer under a standard microscope, and applied at a concentration of 10⁶spores/ml in four replicate spots with 5 μl per spot. The positions of the Janthinobacterium lividum cross and spore spots were replicated on each plate using a template. Assays plates were incubated at ambient temperature or at 27° C. as indicated for 2 to 3 weeks. Images were taken at Day 14 and Day 21. These results are shown in FIG. 4.
The inhibition of T. rubrum was referred as the reduction of colony size in mm compared to controls. Radii of T. rubrum colonies were first measured using ImageJ in pixels (straight line) and converted into mm based the pixel measurements of petri dishes.
S. aureus Antibiosis Assay
In vitro assay was set up following standard experimental procedure. Briefly, S. aureus 25923 was struck out BHI agar from a cryostock and incubated at 37° C. overnight. The agar plate was used for the assay within 1 week. 3 ml of BHI media was inoculated with colonies from the agar plate and grown for 2-3 hr at 37° C. The absorbance at 600 nm was measured and diluted to 1×10{circumflex over ( )}7 CFU/ml, assuming that 1 OD unit is equal to 1×10{circumflex over ( )}9 CFU/ml. 200 μl of 1×10{circumflex over ( )}7 CFU/ml was added to LB50 agar plates and a lawn of bacterium dispersed over the agar using 5-10 5 mm sterile glass bead. The beads were removed and the plates allowed to dry. 1-2 5 μl spots of Janthinobacterium lividum JL007 from frozen sample or 20-24 hr cultures were added to each plate and allowed to dry. A mock control plate was left untouched. Control JL007 cultures were grown as described above for the Ramsey assay. All plates were incubated for 4-6 days at room temperature.
Results are qualitative. A successful outcome shows a sparse collection of S. aureus colonies on the experimental or JL007 control plated compared with a lawn on the mock control. A qualitative score of 1-3 is given for 1 showing 50-75% growth, 2 showing 15-50% growth and 3 showing <15% growth compared with the mock control.
Results, Interpretations, & Conclusions
Purity Assay
An estimate of the number of colonies per plate is shown in the table 5 below. Representative images are shown in FIG. 6. No non-Janthinobacterium lividum colonies were observed for either F107 or F108 shake flask or harvested culture confirming that the culture is a monoculture to >99.99% for shake flask sand harvest cultures.

Janthinobacterium lividum-T. rubrum antibiosis assays were mostly carried out using the lead the undiluted harvest culture and the harvest culture diluted to 10{circumflex over ( )}8, 10{circumflex over ( )}7 and 10{circumflex over ( )}6 Representative images of the mock control, 10{circumflex over ( )}8 CFU/ml culture and the mock control are shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 10 shows the difference in mm between the size of the proximal fringe (indicated in FIG. 8c ) of the mock control and the experimental samples. Each is an average of the four T. rubrum colonies from each plate. It can be concluded that dilution of the sample shows no significant effect on the inhibition of T. rubrum growth; an approximately 5 mm decrease in growth of the T. rubrum colony is observed at the position closest to the JL007 cross.
Staphylococcus aureus Antibiosis Assays.
Results from the S. aureus antibiosis assays are qualitative as the method used for the assay causes JL007 from the harvested fermenters to stop all but sporadic growth. For comparative purposes, a representative mock and lab grown JL007 images from a previous fermentation developmental are shown. Table 6 shows the qualitative score for the undiluted and each dilution for F107 and F108. It can be concluded that there is no difference between the undiluted and dilutions of F107 and F108.

10{circumflex over ( )}7 dilution	3	10{circumflex over ( )}7 dilution	3
10{circumflex over ( )}6 dilution	3	10{circumflex over ( )}6 dilution	3

In summary undiluted culture from F107 and F108 had just over 10{circumflex over ( )}9 CFU/ml when analyzed directly from the fermenter. An approximate 10-fold dilution in counts was followed for both F107 and F108 upon dilution and plating. Purity was >99.99% for shake and harvest samples suggesting a true monoculture, that was confirmed for both fermenters by QPCR. The activity assay against T. rubrum and S. aureus showed no difference between undiluted and diluted cultures or in comparison with shake flask grown controls confirming that fermenter grown culture was as active in inhibiting the growth of these pathogens.

7.5. Example 5: Virulence Factors

Summary
To evaluate biosafety of Janthinobacterium lividum strains, Janthinobacterium lividum strains were tested for virulence factors and examined for their antibiotic resistance profiles by performing both in silico analyses and wet lab experimental confirmation. In silico genome mining revealed no known virulence factors and no antibiotic resistance genes in genomes of five (5) strains of Janthinobacterium lividum (Table 1). Antibiotic tests, showed that the tested Janthinobacterium lividum strains are sensitive to over 24 antibiotics to various extent. Janthinobacterium lividum strains are sensitive to cephalosporin, quinolone, and tetracycline classes of antibiotics, less sensitive to aminoglycosides, macrolides, aztreonam, carbapenem, meropenem, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, and amoxicillin/clavulanate (4:1), and are resistant to bacitracin.
Materials & Methods
Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing and Bioinformatic Analyses
Shotgun sequencing libraries for each Janthinobacterium lividum strain was generated using the Nextera Flex kit (Illumina). The shotgun libraries were pooled and sequenced in a HiSeq X platform. The sequencing reads were automatically demultiplexed into individual FASTA files, run through bioinformatic analysis pipeline yielding a genome assembled from cleaned sequencing reads.
Genome sequences of each Janthinobacterium lividum strains were run through CosmoID online service (cosmosid.com) for searching of virulence factor genes and known antibiotic resistance genes.
Internal Antibiotic Resistance Tests
One Janthinobacterium lividum colony of 3-day old grown in 50% BHI agar was mixed well in 1 ml of 1×PBS buffer, diluted 10× and 100×, respectively. 200 μl of diluted Janthinobacterium lividum cells were evenly plated onto R2A/BHI agar plates in triplicate in 150 mm petri dishes. Antibiotic discs (BD BBL Sensi-Disc antimicrobial susceptibility test discs) were dispensed using a Disc dispenser (BD BBL Sensi-Disc Designer Dispenser System, 12-Place). Plates were incubated for 2-3 days at room temperature and imaged at the end of incubation.
The sensitivity of Janthinobacterium lividum to antibiotics is reflected by a clear zone of inhibition of Janthinobacterium lividum cells surrounding the antibiotic discs. The zone of inhibition was measured using ImageJ and was transformed into cm for analysis.
Antibiotic MIC Tests
The antibiotic resistance profile and MICs tests were performed using Janthinobacterium lividum grown from cultures purified and grown in vegitone LB broth.
Results, Interpretations, & Conclusions
All five Janthinobacterium lividum strains were sequenced with a coverage of at least 100× of the genome size. Genome sequences were assembled into contigs and run through CosmosID (cosmosid.com) to search for virulence factor genes and antibiotic resistance genes. CosmosID has well-curated reference databases for bacterial virulence factor genes and antibiotic resistance genes. In silico searches yielded no any known genes coding for virulence factors and antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotic sensitivities were also confirmed by laboratory assays, using the Janthinobacterium lividum grown from Janthinobacterium lividum culture grown in vegitone LB broth. Antibiotic assays performed showed that all 5 Janthinobacterium lividum strains are sensitive to the following antibiotic/doses: penicillin 10 IU, ampicillin 10 μg, streptomycin 10 μg, vancomycin 30 μg, erythromycin 15 μg, doxycycline 30 μg, teracycline 30 μg, cephalothin 30 μg, ciprofloxaxin 5 μg, and chloramphenicol 5 μg (FIG. 5).
Janthinobacterium lividum strains are sensitive to cephalosporin, quinolone, and tetracycline classes of antibiotics, less sensitive to aminoglycosides, macrolides, aztreonam, carbapenem, meropenem, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, and amoxicillin/clavulanate (4:1), and are resistant to bacitracin (Table 7 and 8).

7.6. Example 6: In Vitro Efficacy

Summary
Five (5) unique strains of Janthinobacterium lividum have been demonstrated in laboratory in vitro assays to significantly inhibit growth of a dermatophyte, Trichophyton rubrum at ambient temperature and at 27° C. Mild growth inhibition of T. rubrum by JL007 was observed at 30° C.
Materials & Methods
Microbial Strains
Trichophyton rubrum strain 18754 was purchased from ATCC and maintained according to instructions. Janthinobacterium lividum strains were stored at −80° C. with either DMSO or glycerol as cryoprotectant.
Ramsey In Vitro Antibiosis Assay
In vitro assay was set up following the procedure reported by Ramsey et al. (2015). Briefly, 24-hour Janthinobacterium lividum culture grown in 50% vegLB (LB50), roughly 2×10{circumflex over ( )}9 CFU/ml, was struck out onto 50% Tryptone agar plates in two straight lines using a sterile Q-Tip, perpendicular to each other. Conidia spores of T. rubrum were harvested off the approximately 1-week old culture grown on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, counted using a hemocytometer under a standard microscope, applied at a concentration of 10{circumflex over ( )}6 spores/ml in four replicate spots with 5 μl per spot. Assays plates were incubated at ambient temperature or at 27° C. as indicated for 2-3 weeks. Images were taken at Day 7, Day 14, and Day 21.
Quantification of a Zone of Inhibition
The inhibition of T. rubrum was referred as the reduction of colony diameters in cm. Diameters of T. rubrum colonies were first measured using ImageJ in pixels (straight line) and converted into cm based the pixel measurements of petri dishes.
Results, Interpretations, & Conclusions
Janthinobacterium lividum-T. rubrum antibiosis assays were carried out using the DB02473 human-isolated Janthinobacterium lividum strain. For plates incubated at ambient temperature, T. rubrum grows beyond initial inoculation spots starting at Day 4. At day 7, Janthinobacterium lividum-treated T. rubrum colonies grown in co-culture with Janthinobacterium lividum were noticeably smaller than mock control (no Janthinobacterium lividum) colonies. At Day 14, Janthinobacterium lividum treated colonies were significantly smaller than control colonies (FIG. 10), indicating a strong growth inhibition by Janthinobacterium lividum. Similar results were observed with other unique Janthinobacterium lividum strains.

7.7. Example 7. Metabolites

Summary
Two known metabolites of Janthinobacterium lividum, violacein and indole-3-carbaldehyde, are active compounds involved in Janthinobacterium lividum-exerted growth inhibition. The metabolic profile of Janthinobacterium lividum in the presence and absence of T. rubrum or S. aureus culture was analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). A full spectrum of metabolites produced by Janthinobacterium lividum isolate and those metabolites upregulated by Janthinobacterium lividum in the presence of T. rubrum or S. aureus culture was elucidated (Table 9). Indole-3-carbaldehyde and 17 other metabolites are uniquely over expressed in DB02473 relative to the other Janthinobacterium lividum isolates (Table 10). Significantly expressed (2 fold difference compared to control) metabolites for each Janthinobacterium lividum isolates in response to pathogenic challenge (Staph. or T. rubrum) were compared (Table 11).
Materials & Methods
The 1.2-ml samples were sonicated using a probe sonicator set at 40% intensity for 3×40 s with 20 s on ice between sonication bursts. This procedure was based on findings from a pilot experiment and gives 60-80% lysis of Janthinobacterium lividum DB02473. The sonicated material was centrifuged at 14,000×g for 2 minutes. 700 μl of the supernatant was transferred to barcoded Micronic tubes provided by Metabolon. The tubes were capped, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° C. The remainder of the lysate supernatant was stored in the −80° C. in freezer boxes after being flash frozen.
Snap frozen cultures were defrosted at 4° C. and centrifuged at 14,000×g for 10 minutes. The pellet was resuspended in 1 ml of methanol and quantitatively transferred to bead beating tubes. The original tubes were further washed with 1 ml of methanol and was combined into the previous 1 ml of methanol in the bead beating tubes. 0.1 mm glass beads were added to each bead beating tube so that the conical bottom of the tube was filled. The tubes were placed in a Qiagene TissueLyser II and were subject to bead beading for 10 minutes at 30 Hz. Samples were centrifuged at 14,000×g for 10 minutes and the supernatant was transferred into clean tubes. A speed vacuum was used to evaporate the methanol at 30° C. The pellet was resuspended in 200 μl of HPLC grade methanol and transferred into the insert of autosampler vials.
Results, Interpretations, & Conclusions
Method for identification of metabolites that were significantly enhanced or decreased by 2 fold compared to DB02473.

- 1. Metabolites abundance compared with the media control or pathogen were ranked from high to low according to DB02473.
- 2. The ratio of DB02473: other Janthinobacterium lividum was calculated. If there was a 2 fold increase or decrease in at least 4 other strains, then the metabolite was considered as behaving differently than in the DB02473 strain.
- 3. Metabolites where the abundance compared with the media control or pathogen was not significant were removed.
