ABSTRACT:
An isolated strain ofEnterococcus faecalisGALT deposited under number CECT 7121 of the group of lactic bacteria is disclosed, which is capable of surviving and colonizing the gastrointestinal tract of humans and/or animals and showing beneficial probiotic activity for the health of humans and animals. The strainE. faecalisGALT and/or a culture supernatant and/or metabolites thereof shows no in vitro multiresistance to antibiotics of common use in human clinics as glycopeptides, such as vancomycin, teicoplanine; carbapenemes, such as impipenem, meropenem; and ampicillin. The strainE. faecalisGALT contains no red blood cell-destroying hemolysins of human, ovine and equine origin; and it does not produce any gelatinase, DNase and decarboxylases.The strainE. faecalisGALT is useful for the preparation of a composition intended for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of disorders associated with colonization by pathogenic microorganisms of the gastrointestinal tract; for use as a regulator of the immune response in human and animals, as well as for the preparation of a composition.The invention is also directed to methods and uses of the strainE. faecalisGALT.
