Preparation and use of biofilm-degrading, multiple-specificity, hydrolytic enzyme mixtures

   
   

The present invention is directed to the production and use of custom tailored, bacterial enzyme mixtures or components thereof for degrading biofilms in both industrial and therapeutic applications. The industrial applications include but are not limited to the use biofilm-degrading, multiple specificity, hydrolytic enzyme mixtures for removing or preventing the formation of biofilms in water cooling towers, industrial process piping, heat exchangers, in food processing or food preparation, in potable water systems, reservoirs, swimming pools, or related sanitary water systems, and on membranes such as those used for desalinization, industrial processes, or related applications. The therapeutic applications include but are not limited to the use of therapeutically-useful, multiple-specificity, hydrolytic enzyme mixtures for the prevention or treatment of dental caries, periodontal disease, cystic fibrosis or the complications or symptoms of cystic fibrosis, removal of biofilms from contact lenses, and diseases or complications associated with biofilm formation on implantable medical devices such as cardiovascular devices.

A invenção atual é dirigida à produção e ao uso de misturas do costume do enzyme ou de componentes costurados, bacterianos disso para biofilms degradando em aplicações industriais e therapeutic. As aplicações industriais incluem mas não são limitadas ao specificity biofilm-degradando, múltiplo do uso, misturas hydrolytic do enzyme para remover ou impedir a formação dos biofilms em torres refrigerando de água, encanamento do processo industrial, cambistas de calor, em processar de alimento ou preparação de alimento, em sistemas de água potable, reservatórios, pools de natação, ou sistemas sanitários relacionados da água, e nas membranas tais como aqueles usados para o desalinization, processos industriais, ou aplicações relacionadas. As aplicações therapeutic incluem mas não são limitadas ao uso de therapeutically-útil, múltiplo-multiple-specificity, misturas hydrolytic do enzyme para a prevenção ou o tratamento da cárie dental, doença peridental, fibrosis cystic ou as complicações ou os sintomas do fibrosis cystic, a remoção dos biofilms das lentes de contato, e as doenças ou as complicações associadas com a formação do biofilm em dispositivos médicos implantable tais como dispositivos cardiovascular.
