Abstract

Provided herein are compositions and methods for the suppression of multi-drug resistant organisms. Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating diseases or disorders associated with bacterial colonization or treating diseases or disorders associated with an immune response induced by bacteria. Also provided herein are compositions and methods for suppressing colonization of the intestine of subject with oral microbiome bacteria.

Claims (34)

1. A composition comprising:

(i) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 48;

(ii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 52;

(iii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 55;

(iv) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 62;

(v) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 67;

(vi) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 72;

(vii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 75; and

(viii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 77,

wherein the bacterial strains are lyophilized.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises bacterial strains that originate from more than one human donor.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises at least 9, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 13, at least 14, at least 15, at least 16, at least 17, at least 18, at least 19, at least 20, at least 21, at least 22, at least 23, at least 24, at least 25, at least 26, at least 27, at least 28, at least 29, at least 30, at least 31, at least 32, at least 33, at least 34, at least 35, or at least 36 purified bacterial strains.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition suppresses replication, survival, and/or colonization of one or more pathogenic organisms.

5. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising:

(i) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 23; and

(ii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25.

6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising one or more enteric polymers.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 1×10 7 and 1×10 10 colony forming units (CFUs) per bacterial strain.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises:

(i) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 48;

(ii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 100% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 52;

(iii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 100% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 55;

(iv) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 100% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 62;

(v) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 67;

(vi) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 72;

(vii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 75;

(viii) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 77;

(ix) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 100% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 23;

(x) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 100% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25; and

(xi) a purified bacterial strain comprising a 16S rDNA sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26.

9. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the composition of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for oral delivery or rectal delivery.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for delivery to the intestine or the colon.

12. The composition of claim 9 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of capsule.
