Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, oxidized fulvic acids derived from coal contain high concentrations of heavy metals, including aluminum, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and lead, which are known to be harmful to humans and should be avoided in pharmaceutical preparations

Embodiment 1

[0033] Example 1: Antibacterial activity of fulvic acid against multi-drug resistant bacteria

[0034] summary

[0035] The efficacy of CHD-FA against multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in vitro was evaluated. After delivery, the active ingredients of CHD-FA were stored at room temperature and protected from light.

[0036] method

[0037] a) Strains

[0038] Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on a series of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains. Details of the strains used are listed in Table 1.

[0039] b) Resurrection and growth of the strain

[0040] All strains were recovered from long-term storage at -80°C by subculture on CLED agar plates. Plates were then incubated in air at 35-37°C for 24 hours. Isolates were deemed suitable for use after visual inspection to ensure purity and appropriate colony characteristics.

Embodiment 2

[0064] Example 2 - Efficacy of CHD-FA alone or in combination with carbapenem antibiotics in the mouse thigh model of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection

[0065] method

[0066] a) Supervision

[0067] All animal experiments were carried out under the permission of the UK Home Office and the approval of the local ethics committee. All experiments were performed by technicians who had completed parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Ministry of the Interior individual licensing course and held a current individual license.

[0068] b) mouse strain

[0069] Mice used in this study were provided by Charles River UK and are specific pathogen free. The mouse strain used was CD1, which is a well-characterized outbred strain. Mice were delivered at Euprotec's facility at 16-18 g and allowed to acclimatize for 7 days (target body weight at the start of the experiment was 22-25 g).

[0070] c) Animal feeding

[0071] Mice were housed in sterile individually ventilated cages (http: / / www.tecniplast....

Abstract

Fulvic acid as the active ingredient is used in the treatment or inhibition of mutti-drug resistant bacteria, in particular NDM-1 bacteria producing carbapenemase or extended- spectrum beta-lactamase (ES8L) resistant bacteria. The multi-drug resistant bacteria may be gram negative bacteria including, but not limited to, Klebsiella pneumoniae or Escherichia coli.. The fuivic acid can be provided in combination with one or more antibiotics from the class of carbapenems or polymyxin antibiotics.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The invention relates to the use of fulvic acid as an active ingredient for treating or inhibiting multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially carbapenemase-producing NDM-1 bacteria or extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) drug-resistant bacteria. The present invention also relates to the use of fulvic acid as an active ingredient in combination with one or more antibiotics of the carbapenems or polymyxin antibiotics for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria, especially carbapenemase-producing NDM- 1 bacteria. [0002] Fulvic acid is part of the humus formed during decay of plant and animal residues in the environment (MacCarthy et al., 1985), and it is soluble in water at all pH values. It generally has a lower molecular size and molecular weight, as well as a lower color, than humic acids, which are also found in humic substances. [0003] Typically, fulvic acids are produced from bituminous coal using a controlled wet oxidation pr...
