THERAPEUTIC AND NON-THERAPEUTIC USES OF TAILOCINS OF PSEUDOMONAS SPECIES AGAINST E. COLI AND NEW TAILOCINS OF PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present invention relates to antibacterial compounds efficient against Escherichia coli, i.e. a composition comprising a cell lysate, wherein the cell produces at least one tailocin from a Pseudomonas bacterium selected from the group consisting of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas chlororaphis, Pseudomonas koreensis and Pseudomonas syringae species, for use in the prevention or the treatment in a subject of a contamination or an infection by an Escherichia coli strain. It further relates to non-therapeutic uses of the same cell lysate for the prevention and/or the treatment of a contamination by an Escherichia coli strain in a food product or on a surface, and intimate care product or a food supplement comprising the cell lysate, as well as new nucleic acids encoding one or two original tailocins, expression vectors or cells comprising them, a cell lysate and its therapeutic and non-therapeutic uses.
