MICROBIAL CONSORTIUM AND USES THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18488913 titled 'MICROBIAL CONSORTIUM AND USES THEREOF

The patent application describes microbial compositions and methods for treating and preventing inflammatory diseases.

• The microbial compositions contain therapeutically effective amounts of certain microbes.
• These compositions are particularly useful for treating inflammatory diseases.
• The methods involve administering the microbial compositions to patients in need of treatment.

Potential Applications: - Treatment of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriasis. - Prevention of flare-ups in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions.

Problems Solved: - Provides a natural and potentially more effective alternative to traditional treatments for inflammatory diseases. - Offers a targeted approach to addressing inflammation at the microbial level.

Benefits: - Reduced inflammation and associated symptoms. - Potential for long-term management of chronic inflammatory conditions. - Fewer side effects compared to conventional treatments.

Commercial Applications: - Pharmaceutical companies could develop and market microbial-based therapies for inflammatory diseases. - Health and wellness companies could incorporate these microbial compositions into probiotic supplements.

Prior Art: - Research on the role of the microbiome in inflammatory diseases. - Existing therapies for inflammatory conditions that may not target the microbial component.

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on the efficacy of microbial therapies for various inflammatory diseases.

Questions about Microbial Compositions for Inflammatory Diseases: 1. How do microbial compositions differ from traditional treatments for inflammatory diseases? 2. What specific types of microbes are included in these compositions and how do they work to reduce inflammation?
