ANTIBACTERIAL COMPOSITION

摘要

The adhesiveness of pathogenic bacteria provided with fimbriae of type I to animal cells is inhibited by glycopeptides and/or oligosaccharides prepared by an enzymatic route, preferably from a fraction enriched in soya glycoprotein 7S or bean glycoprotein II. …These active constituents comprise a polymannoside base structure resembling those exhibited by epithelial cells and which the bacteria recognise. The latter are neutralised and no longer adhere to the cells. …The compositions can be used for prophylaxis, therapy and diagnosis of infectious diseases, especially those caused by coliform bacteria and also for the disinfection of surfaces.
