20100183559 | BIFIDOBACTERIUM LONGUM - The multiple embodiments described herein comprise the genome of a probiotic | 07-22-2010 |
20130115317 | Method for Identifying Pre-Biotics and Compositions Containing the Same - A method for indentifying test agents that exhibit prebiotic activity on companion animal skin commensal microorganisms and dermatological compositions that include such agents. The method includes providing a test culture of a test agent, a companion animal skin commensal microorganism and a minimal carbon medium. The method provides a time efficient and cost effective way to predict in vivo prebiotic activity of a test agent on skin commensal microorganisms. | 05-09-2013 |
20130115610 | METHOD OF IDENTIFYING PREBIOTICS AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME - A method for identifying test agents that exhibit prebiotic activity on human skin commensal microorganisms and compositions that include such agents. The method includes providing a test culture of a test agent, a human skin commensal microorganism and a minimal carbon medium. The method provides a time efficient and cost effective way to predict in vivo prebiotic activity of a test agent on skin commensal microorganisms. | 05-09-2013 |
20130115648 | METHOD OF IDENTIFYING PREBIOTICS AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME - A high-throughput, tiered screening method of indentifying test agents that exhibit prebiotic activity on human skin commensal microorganisms and cosmetic compositions that include such agents. The method includes determining the metabolite level of a culture and comparing the metabolite level to a control value. The assay further comprises performing a plate count using the culture when the metabolite level of the culture is greater than its corresponding control value. The plate count results are compared to another control value, and the test agent is identified as a prebiotic agent when the number of colonies present in the plate count assay of the culture is greater than the second control value. | 05-09-2013 |
20140072533 | METHOD OF MAKING COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING A PREBIOTIC - A method for indentifying test agents that exhibit prebiotic activity on human skin commensal microorganisms and cosmetic compositions that include such agents. The method includes providing a test culture of a test agent, a human skin commensal microorganism and a minimal carbon medium. The method provides a time efficient and cost effective way to predict in vivo prebiotic activity of a test agent on skin commensal microorganisms. | 03-13-2014 |
20150202136 | TOPICAL USE OF A SKIN-COMMENSAL PREBIOTIC AGENT AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME - The topical use of a skin commensal prebiotic to improve the health of the skin microbiome, thereby potentially improving the condition and/or appearance of the skin, and topical cosmetic compositions that include the skin commensal prebiotic. The topical cosmetic compositions may include a dermatologically acceptable carrier and an effective amount of prebiotic, and may be used in conjunction with one or more oral or topical prebiotics, probiotics and/or probiotic lysates. | 07-23-2015 |
20150209202 | DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES COMPRISING SKIN HEALTH COMPOSITION(S) AND RELATED METHODS - The present disclosure describes disposable absorbent article(s) comprising a skin health composition effective for treating bacteria, including the bacteria associated with diaper rash. | 07-30-2015 |
20150209272 | SKIN CARE WIPES COMPRISING ADDED NATURAL ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS - A wet wipe product including a fibrous and porous substrate material combined with an aqueous personal care lotion, the lotion including a preservative and an added bacteriophage composition, and methods for making the same, are disclosed. The bacteriophage composition may include one or more bacteriophages that are selected to be effective against one or more respective bacteria strains. | 07-30-2015 |
