Pharmacological properties
The active substance is a strain of non-pathogenic bacteria of human origin, belonging to the species Escherichia coli (E. coli), in a living and reproducible form: E. coli strain NISSLE 1917. Using special adhesive organelles (type F-1A, F- 1C and “curly” fimbriae) the strain has the ability to attach to the mucous membrane of the colon and form microcolonies in the form of a biofilm. Due to the presence of flagella, bacteria are characterized by mobility, which gives them an advantage when colonizing the large intestine. The effects of Mutaflor (E. coli strain NISSLE 1917) were determined in in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as in clinical trials.
