Abstract

Provided herein are methods and compositions related to immune modulating Lactococcus strains useful as therapeutic agents. In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods of treating an immune disorder in a subject comprising administering to the subject a bacterial composition comprising Lactococcus lactis cremoris Strain A (ATCC Deposit Number PTA-125368).

Claims (13)

1. A method of treating psoriasis in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective dose of a bacterial composition comprising Lactococcus lactis cremoris Strain A (ATCC Deposit Number PTA-125368).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacterial composition is administered orally.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least 50% of the bacteria in the bacterial composition are Lactococcus lactis cremoris Strain A (ATCC Deposit Number PTA-125368).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least 99% of the bacteria in the bacterial composition are Lactococcus lactis cremoris Strain A (ATCC Deposit Number PTA-125368).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacterial composition comprises at least 1×10 6 colony forming units (CFUs) of Lactococcus lactis cremoris Strain A (ATCC Deposit Number PTA-125368).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacterial composition comprises live bacteria, attenuated bacteria and/or killed bacteria.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises administering to the subject an additional therapeutic.
