Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to the application of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 and its bacteriocins and lyophilized powder in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections. Background Technology

[0002] Upper respiratory tract infections (such as colds, pharyngitis, and sinusitis) are mainly caused by viruses (such as rhinovirus and influenza virus) or bacteria (such as Streptococcus pneumoniae). Children are more susceptible to these infections and are prone to complications such as otitis media and sinusitis. Traditional treatments include antibiotics (for bacterial infections), antiviral drugs, and symptomatic treatments (such as antipyretics, analgesics, and cough suppressants). However, antibiotic overuse can lead to a surge in drug-resistant bacteria, and long-term use may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation and liver and kidney damage.

[0003] Adenoid hypertrophy is most common in children, mainly caused by repeated nasopharyngeal inflammation (such as rhinitis, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection) or allergic reactions, leading to pathological hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue, causing symptoms such as nasal congestion, snoring, and sleep apnea. In severe cases, adenoid facies or cardiopulmonary dysfunction may occur. Current treatments primarily involve medication (such as nasal corticosteroids and antihistamines), traditional Chinese medicine (massage, herbal medicine), and surgery (adenoidectomy). Long-term medication may cause side effects; traditional Chinese medicine treatment is generally ineffective, expensive, and may delay optimal treatment time; surgery carries invasive risks; and the harms of adenoidectomy are currently not fully understood by the medical community.

[0004] In recent years, probiotics, as a novel biological agent, have gradually become a research hotspot in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections due to their immune-regulating and pathogen-inhibiting properties. Multiple clinical studies have shown that probiotics can competitively inhibit pathogens, regulate mucosal immunity, and enhance epithelial barrier function. For example, *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. *salivarius* Biohalo23 has been shown to alleviate upper respiratory tract infection symptoms by inhibiting harmful bacteria (such as *Campylobacter conjunctivae* and *Neisseria oralis*), increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria, and maintaining gut microbiota balance. Despite the potential of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections, their clinical application still faces the following challenges: the mechanisms of action and effects of different probiotic strains vary significantly; traditional liquid probiotic preparations are easily affected by temperature and humidity, resulting in low viable bacterial survival rates; most probiotic preparations are administered orally, requiring passage through the gastrointestinal environment (gastric acid, bile) before reaching the respiratory tract, leading to a significant reduction in viable bacterial counts and low respiratory tract colonization rates. Therefore, continued screening of probiotics with significant efficacy in alleviating upper respiratory tract infections and the development of related preparations remain crucial research areas in this field.

[0077] Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001, Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus Biohalo23, Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus ST-21, and Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus STN26 were activated and cultured in M17 medium, then inoculated at 3% (v / v) into M17 medium and cultured at 37°C for 18 h for later use. The bacterial cells were collected by low-temperature centrifugation, washed twice with PBS, and resuspended in oral keratinocyte complete culture medium (OKM, containing growth factors and antibiotics, purchased from Sciencell) to adjust the bacterial concentration to 1×10⁻⁶. 6 Prepare a bacterial suspension of CFU / mL for later use.

[0078] Oral keratinocytes (HOK) were removed from the liquid nitrogen container, thawed in a 37°C water bath, and then 5 ml of complete oral keratinocyte culture medium was added. The cells were gently shaken to distribute them evenly in the culture flask, and then incubated for 16 hours. After passage culture, the cell number increased to 102. 5 per mL.

[0079] Suspensions of *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001, *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. Biohalo23, *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. ST-21, and *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. STN26 were mixed with a concentration of 10... 5 0.5 mL of HOK (Hyperbacterium oxychloride) per mL was added to 1.5 mL EP tubes, gently pipetted to disperse evenly, and incubated at 37°C and 100 rpm for 2 h. Epithelial cells were then collected by filtering through a 10 μm pore membrane. The membrane was washed three times with DPBS, and the suspension was collected and centrifuged at low temperature. Epithelial cells were prepared into smears, air-dried, heat-fixed, and Gram-stained. Adhesion morphology changes were observed under an oil immersion microscope. One hundred epithelial cells were selected, and the total number of HOKs with four bacterial strains adhering to the surface and the total number of adhering bacteria were counted to calculate the adhesion index. The adhesion index and adhesion rate were calculated using the following formulas: Adhesion index = Number of adhering bacteria / Total number of counted cells; Adhesion rate (%) = (Number of cells with bacteria adhering to the surface / Total number of counted cells) × 100%. At least three independent replicates were performed. Results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0080] The results showed that the adhesion amount of Streptococcus salivarius thermophilus subsp. DY-001 to oral keratinocytes (HOK) was 39.72±2.15 CFU / cell, which was significantly different from that of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. ST-21. P <0.01), which is different from that of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. biohalo23. P <0.05), showing a significant difference compared to Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus STN26 ( P<0.01); there was a significant difference between *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. *salivarius* Biohalo23 and *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. *salivarius* ST-21 ( ). P <0.05); there was no significant difference between Streptococcus salivarius thermophilus subsp. STN26 and Streptococcus salivarius thermophilus subsp. ST-21.

[0082] Isolation and antibacterial experiment of bacteriocin from Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001:

[0083] Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 was activated using M17 liquid medium, inoculated at a rate of 3% (v / v) into M17 liquid medium, and incubated at 37°C for 18 hours. OD 600 The concentration was 5.00, and the culture medium of *Streptococcus salivarius* subsp. *thermophilus* DY-001 was obtained. The culture medium was centrifuged at 12000 rpm at 4°C to obtain the supernatant. The supernatant was divided into 4 portions, and ammonium sulfate was slowly added to each portion to achieve ammonium sulfate saturation of 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%, respectively. The mixture was magnetically stirred at low temperature overnight, centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C, the supernatant was discarded, the precipitate was collected, and dried at 40°C to obtain the corresponding products (bacteriocin), which were designated as DY50, DY60, DY70, and DY80, respectively. Based on the precipitate weight, a bacteriocin solution of 0.1 mg / ml was prepared with sterile water for antibacterial experiments.

[0084] The antibacterial experiment procedure was the same as in Example 3, except that 200 μL of the prepared bacteriocin solutions DY50, DY60, DY70, and DY80 were injected into each well, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0085] Table 4. Results of antibacterial experiments with different bacteriocin solutions

[0086]

[0087] The results showed that the bacteriocins metabolized by *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001 could be effectively isolated when the ammonium sulfate saturation was 60%, and had a good inhibitory effect on *Streptococcus pneumoniae* ATCC49619, *Streptococcus β-hemolyticus* CMCC(B)32210, *Streptococcus pyogenes* BNCC337110, *Escherichia coli* BNCC337304, and *Staphylococcus aureus* ATCC29213. When the ammonium sulfate saturation reached 80%, the bacteriocins could not be isolated or were destroyed, resulting in serious losses.

[0088] Example 6

[0089] 1. Culture medium screening for Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001:

[0090] (1) Carbon source: *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001 was treated with glucose, sucrose, lactose, mannose, arabinose, and trehalose. The carbon source was removed from M17 medium, while other components remained unchanged. The carbon source addition was 2% (g / mL). *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001 was activated using M17 medium. It was inoculated at 3% (v / v) into M17 medium supplemented with different carbon sources and incubated at 37℃ for 18 h. Viable cell counts were then determined. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0091] Table 5. Viable counts of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 with different carbon sources

[0092]

[0093] The table above shows that *Streptococcus thermophilus* subspecies DY-001 can effectively utilize glucose, sucrose, and lactose, but its utilization of mannose, arabinose, and trehalose is not high. Glucose and lactose provide the best growth for *Streptococcus thermophilus* subspecies DY-001. Therefore, glucose and lactose will be selected as the two carbon sources for the growth of *Streptococcus thermophilus* subspecies DY-001, with a glucose-to-lactose ratio of 1:1.

[0094] (2) Nitrogen source: *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001 was treated with the following nitrogen sources: yeast extract, malt extract, tryptone, bovine bone peptone, soybean peptone, and beef extract. The nitrogen source was removed from M17 medium, while other components remained unchanged. The nitrogen source addition was 2% (g / mL). *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001 was activated using M17 medium. It was inoculated at 3% (v / v) into M17 medium supplemented with different nitrogen sources and incubated statically at 37℃ for 18 h. Viable cell counts were then determined. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0095] Table 6. Viable counts of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 under different nitrogen sources

[0096]

[0097] As shown in the table above, Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 grows well and reproduces rapidly in yeast extract, malt extract, and soybean peptone. These three nitrogen sources will be selected as the growth nitrogen sources for Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 in the future.

[0098] (3) Orthogonal Experiment: An orthogonal experiment was conducted using the following per liter concentrations of *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. *salivarius* DY-001: yeast extract (15 g / L, 20 g / L, 25 g / L), malt extract (10 g / L, 15 g / L, 20 g / L), soybean peptone (17 g / L, 20 g / L, 23 g / L), and glucose-lactose mixture (20 g / L, 25 g / L, 30 g / L). Glucose and inorganic salts remained unchanged. The results are as follows:Figure 4 As shown in the figure, "glucose-lactose mixture" represents a glucose-lactose mixture (glucose to lactose ratio is 1:1).

[0099] The results showed that the optimal addition ratios of glucose and lactose 25 g / L, yeast extract 20 g / L, malt extract 15 g / L, and soybean peptone 23 g / L were used in the fermentation of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001.

[0100] The fermentation medium for Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 was prepared as follows: glucose 12.5 g / L, lactose 12.5 g / L, yeast extract 20 g / L, malt extract 15 g / L, soybean peptone 23 g / L, sodium acetate 5 g / L, diammonium hydrogen citrate 2 g / L, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 2 g / L, magnesium sulfate 0.1 g / L, and manganese sulfate 0.05 g / L.

[0101] 2. Preparation of freeze-dried powder of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001:

[0102] After activating Streptococcus thermophilus subsp. DY-001 for two generations in M17 liquid medium, it was inoculated into the fermentation medium of Streptococcus thermophilus subsp. DY-001 from step 1 at an inoculum rate of 3% (v / v) and cultured at 37℃ for 18 hours. The activated and expanded seed culture was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4℃, and the supernatant was discarded to collect the bacterial cells. Skim milk powder, trehalose, sucrose, and lactose (12 g / L skim milk powder, 12 g / L trehalose, 5 g / L sucrose, and 8 g / L lactose) were added to the aqueous solution, sterilized (110℃ for 20 minutes), and cooled to 4℃ to prepare a freeze-drying protectant. The bacterial sludge and freeze-drying protectant were thoroughly mixed at a mass ratio of 1:2, pre-frozen for 3 hours, and then freeze-dried at -50℃ for 48 hours. The freeze-dried bacterial powder was collected and named DYGH.

[0103] The viable bacteria count of the lyophilized powder was 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. 11 ~5×10 11 CFU / g.

[0104] 3. Screening of medicinal and edible raw materials from fermentation of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001

[0105] Culture media were prepared using 12.5% ​​glucose + 12.5% ​​lactose, with 10% honeysuckle powder, 10% dandelion powder, 10% lily powder, 10% loquat powder, 10% jujube powder, and 10% ginger powder added respectively. The effects of these six medicinal and edible ingredients on the growth promotion of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 were then investigated. The preparation methods for the six culture media are as follows: Weigh 12.5g glucose, 12.5g lactose, and 10g honeysuckle powder, add 65g water, mix thoroughly, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15 minutes; Weigh 12.5g glucose, 12.5g lactose, and 10g dandelion powder, add 65g water, mix thoroughly, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15 minutes; Weigh 12.5g glucose, 12.5g lactose, and 10g lily powder, add 65g water, mix thoroughly, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15 minutes. Set aside. Weigh 12.5g glucose, 12.5g lactose, and 10g loquat powder, add 65g water, mix thoroughly, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15 minutes. Set aside. Weigh 12.5g glucose, 12.5g lactose, and 10g jujube powder, add 65g water, mix thoroughly, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15 minutes. Set aside. Weigh 12.5g glucose, 12.5g lactose, and 10g ginger powder, add 65g water, mix thoroughly, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15 minutes. Set aside.

[0106] After activating Streptococcus thermophilus subsp. DY-001 for two generations in M17 liquid medium, it was inoculated into six different culture media at a 3% (v / v) inoculum and cultured at 37°C for 18 hours. The viable count was then measured, and the results are shown in Table 7.

[0107] Table 7. Viable counts of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 in different fermented medicinal and edible raw materials.

[0108]

[0109] The results showed that the six medicinal and edible ingredients significantly affected the growth of *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001. Honeysuckle powder, lily powder, loquat powder, and jujube powder promoted the growth of the strain, while dandelion powder and ginger powder inhibited its growth, with ginger powder showing the most significant inhibitory effect. Therefore, honeysuckle powder, lily powder, loquat powder, and jujube powder were used to culture *Streptococcus thermophilus* subsp. DY-001.

[0110] The culture medium containing both medicinal and edible ingredients was prepared as follows: glucose 125g / L, lactose 125g / L, honeysuckle powder 100g / L, lily powder 100g / L, loquat powder 100g / L, and jujube powder 100g / L.

[0111] 4. Preparation of freeze-dried powder of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 (containing medicinal and edible materials)

[0112] After activating Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilicus DY-001 for two generations in M17 liquid medium, it was inoculated into the food-medicine homology medium of step 3 at an inoculation rate of 3% (v / v), cultured at 37℃ for 36h, pre-frozen for 3h and then freeze-dried at -50℃ for 48h. The freeze-dried bacterial powder was collected and named DYGN.

[0113] The viable bacteria count of the lyophilized powder was 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. 10 ~4×10 10 CFU / g.

[0114] 5. Antibacterial experiment of two freeze-dried powders of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001

[0115] A certain sample of freeze-dried Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 (DYGH and DYGN) was added to sterile physiological saline to prepare a final viable count concentration of 10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / mL was used to obtain DYGH solution and DYGN solution for later use.

[0116] The antibacterial experiment procedure was the same as in Example 3, except that 200 μL of the prepared DYGH solution and DYGN solution were injected into each well, and the results are shown in Table 8.

[0117] Table 8. Antibacterial test results of DYGH and DYGN

[0118]

[0119] The results showed that the freeze-dried powders DYGH and DYGN of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 had inhibitory effects on five strains: Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC49619, β-hemolytic streptococcus CMCC(B)32210, Streptococcus pyogenes BNCC337110, Escherichia coli BNCC337304, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213. The inhibitory effects were not significantly different from those of liquid-cultured Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 and its bacteriocins.

[0120] Example 7

[0121] Animal experiments on respiratory tract infection of mice with Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001 used the lyophilized powder prepared in Example 6.

[0122] Ninety healthy 8-week-old SPF-grade BABL / c mice, half male and half female, were purchased from the Animal Experiment Center of Hebei Medical University.

[0123] Mice were randomly divided into a blank control group, a model group, a positive control group, experimental group 1 (high-dose DYGH), experimental group 2 (medium-dose DYGH), experimental group 3 (low-dose DYGH), experimental group 4 (high-dose DYGN), experimental group 5 (medium-dose DYGN), and experimental group 6 (low-dose DYGN), with 10 mice in each group. Following the modeling method of Standiford TJ et al., except for the blank control group, the other eight groups of mice were anesthetized with ether, and 50 μL of a mixture of five strains (Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC49619, β-hemolytic streptococcus CMCC(B)32210, Streptococcus pyogenes BNCC337110, Escherichia coli BNCC337304, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213) was instilled into their nasal cavity (bacterial concentration 1×10⁻⁶). 8 (CFU / mL, mixed in equal proportions of each bacterium) to be automatically inhaled. Administer the drug starting on the day of infection (dissolve the drug in sterile saline and administer by gavage), and continue for 7 days. Dosage is shown in Table 9.

[0124] Table 9 Dosage

[0125]

[0126] Mice were weighed before and after the experiment to compare changes. On day 7, mice were sacrificed, and lung tissue was removed. The wet weight of the lung tissue was measured, and then it was baked in a 60℃ constant-temperature dry oven for 72 hours. The dry weight was measured, and the wet / dry weight ratio was calculated. Lung index = mouse lung weight (g) / mouse body weight (g) × 100%. Results are shown in Table 10.

[0127] Table 10 Changes in body weight and lung tissue of mice before and after the experiment in each group

[0128]

[0129] Note: *: indicates comparison with the control group P <0.05; #: indicates that compared to the model group, P <0.05.

[0130] The results showed that after mice were instilled with a mixture of five bacterial strains through their nasal cavity, the model group exhibited poor mental state, decreased appetite, reduced water intake, decreased activity, increased nasal secretions, rapid breathing, and coughing symptoms. After 7 days, their body weight decreased significantly. P <0.05). The control group, however, was in good spirits, drank and ate normally, was active, had stable breathing, and no cough symptoms. Compared with the model group, all experimental groups showed significant improvement in the above symptoms ( P <0.05), and significantly different from the control group. The wet / dry weight ratio of the model group was significantly higher than that of the normal control group ( P <0.05), the experimental group was significantly lower than the model group (P <0.05), there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group, and the trend of lung index change in each group of mice was consistent with the wet / dry weight ratio results.

[0131] On day 7 of the experiment, mice were sacrificed, and lung tissue was removed. The lung tissue was rinsed with pre-cooled PBS to remove blood. Approximately 100 mg of lung tissue was weighed, dried on filter paper, placed in a beaker, and PBS (9 times the weight and volume of the lung tissue block) was added. The tissue was then cut, homogenized, and ground. The mixture was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes in a low-temperature centrifuge, and the supernatant was collected. The IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the lung tissue of each group were detected using an ELISA kit (Bailingke Biotechnology). The results are shown in Table 11.

[0132] Table 11 IL-6 and TNF-α levels in mice of each group

[0133]

[0134] Note: *: indicates comparison with the control group P <0.05; #: indicates that compared to the model group, P <0.05.

[0135] The results showed that 7 days after infection, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the lung tissue homogenate of the model group mice were significantly increased and significantly higher than those in the control group. P <0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the positive control group and each experimental group were significantly different from those in the model group. P <0.05). The results showed that Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-01 could alleviate upper respiratory tract symptoms in mice with bacterial infection, and both lyophilized bacterial powders showed good antibacterial effects and enhanced immune function.

[0136] Example 8

[0137] The lyophilized powder (DYGH) prepared in Example 6 was used in a trial for children with adenoid hypertrophy.

[0138] 1. Research Subjects

[0139] Inclusion criteria: Age 3-10 years, diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy (grade II-III), and not having undergone surgical treatment.

[0140] Exclusion criteria: Comorbid severe cardiopulmonary disease or immunodeficiency.

[0141] Grouping: The adenoid hypertrophy control group (conventional treatment) and the adenoid hypertrophy experimental group (conventional treatment + oral preparation of Streptococcus thermophilus subsp. saliva).

[0142] 2. Intervention Plan

[0143] The adenoid hypertrophy experimental group received additional treatment with Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus DY-001, with a treatment course of 3 months.

[0144] 3. Observation indicators

[0145] Key indicators: changes in adenoid volume (assessed by lateral nasopharyngeal X-ray or endoscopy), and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

[0146] Secondary indicators: nasal congestion score, snoring frequency, number of upper respiratory tract infections, and inflammatory factor levels.

[0147] Safety: Record adverse events such as gastrointestinal reactions and allergies.

[0148] The following are children with adenoid hypertrophy who volunteered to try the treatment. They were randomly divided into two groups: one group received conventional treatment, and the other group received conventional treatment plus DY-001 (a probiotic containing Streptococcus thermophilus). The dosage was 1 gram per sachet per dose, containing at least 3 billion active probiotics of DY-001, twice a day, taken orally half an hour after meals without water (do not drink water for 2 hours after taking the sachet). The effects were observed after 90 days of treatment according to different stages of symptoms. The results are shown in Table 12.

[0149] Table 12 Results of the trial of oral medication for adenoid hypertrophy in children

[0150]

[0151] The results showed that Streptococcus thermophilus subsp. DY-001, as an adjunct therapy, can effectively reduce the inflammatory response and clinical symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy in children, with good safety. Compared with drug therapy alone, the combination with probiotics can significantly improve symptoms and reduce the recurrence rate, and avoid irreversible complications caused by surgical trauma and organ removal.
