INHIBITORS OF SPOREFORMING PATHOGENS AND APPLICATIONS OF THE SAME

摘要

An inhibitor of sporeforming pathogens or agents. In one embodiment, the inhibitor has at least one glycoconjugate that is bondable to a sporeforming pathogen or agent. The glycoconjugate is a molecule containing a carbohydrate moiety that is glycosylated. The glycosylated carbohydrate moiety may comprise a glycoprotein or a glycolipid. In one embodiment, the glycosylated carbohydrate moiety comprises at least one disaccharide moiety or higher polysaccharide. In another embodiment, the glycosylated carbohydrate moiety comprises a plurality of copies of same monosaccharide units or different monosaccharide units.
