Embodiment 1

[0114] Example 1: BPO at a low sub-MIC can be sufficient to interfere with the QS of G. vaginalis, control G. vaginalis and prevent this pathogen from reaching its virulence state.

[0115] Experimental details: In the first step of the experiment, a broth microdilution assay was used to determine the MIC and sub-MIC of BPO against G. vaginalis, the main microorganism responsible for bacterial vaginosis. A concentration of 250 μg / mL was established as a sub-MIC for G. vaginalis (in other words, BPO concentrations greater than 250 μg / mL were required to completely inhibit the growth of G. vaginalis) .

[0116] As a second step, the concentration that inhibits biofilm production is determined. Several BPO concentrations were tested: 0, 31.25, 62.5, 125 and 250 μg / mL. A colorimetric method was used for biofilm staining and determination of percent biofilm integrity after treatment.

[0117] Result: if figure 1 As shown, biofilm formation was inhibited by approximately 80% whe...

Embodiment 2

[0126] Example 2. Level 3 ROS. The goal of finding a therapeutically effective concentration of an antibacterial drug (indeed, any drug) cannot be achieved in preclinical studies (eg, in vitro or in vivo), and is always the subject of clinical studies (studies in humans). Briefly, different concentrations will be tested in humans for both therapeutic efficacy and safety (side effects), and the concentration deemed to be the best combination of efficacy and safety will be selected as the therapeutic concentration. FDA expects drug companies to demonstrate both ends of the antimicrobial spectrum: low / inadequate efficacy at the low end and indications of increased toxicity / compromised safety at the high end. In this example, potency at the low end of the antimicrobial spectrum has been identified, which is anomalous and very unusual. In practice, this would mean that, for example, for the treatment or prevention of bacterial vaginosis, a particular BPO-containing gel at a concen...

Abstract

Described are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating or preventing bacterial infections and other disease and conditions caused by bacterial imbalance or mediated via human microbiota. For example, described are pharmaceutical compositions comprising sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations of reactive oxygen species sufficient for arresting virulence through inhibition of quorum sensing, thereby modifying microbiota to a healthy state

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 479,261 filed March 30, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Background technique [0003] 1. Discovery of technology areas. Methods and pharmaceutical compositions are described for treating or preventing bacterial infections and other diseases and conditions caused by bacterial imbalances or mediated by the human microbiota. For example, a method of reactive oxygen species (ROS) containing a subminimal inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) sufficient to terminate virulence through quorum sensing inhibition, thereby altering the microbiota to a healthy state; i.e., the concentration of the MIC established below is described. pharmaceutical composition. [0004] 2. Background information. The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens and the prevalence of biofilm-associated infections have crea...
