Method of identifying a biologically-active composition from a biofilm
The subject invention provides materials and methods that effectively support innate immunity and/or disperse pathogenic biofilms using readily available, nontoxic, natural substances, while supporting restoration of normal microbiotic homeostasis. In one embodiment, the subject invention provides anti-biofilm compositions comprising one or more probiotic organisms, anti-microbial honey, and other ingredients such as prebiotic compounds, other hive products, green tea derivatives, other plant derivatives, and vitamin D3.
1. An inhaler device containing a composition comprising biologically-active biofilm cellular mass of a Lactobacillus microbe, wherein the biofilm cellular mass is nonviable, and wherein the biological activity of non-viable biofilm cellular mass is anti-microbial activity and/or anti-inflammatory activity.
