Adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal comprising butyric acid bacterium and/or lactic acid bacterium

Abstract

The present invention provides an adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal which is able to reduce a dose of oral cleaning agent for lavaging the alimentary canal, and is capable of realizing an excellent cleaning effect at the time of use of the aforementioned oral cleaning agent for lavaging the alimentary canal. The means for solving the problem is an adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal which is comprising butyric acid bacterium (for example, Clostridium butyricum and the like) and/or lactic acid bacterium (for example, the lactic acid bacterium belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and the genus Bifidobacterium , and the like).

1 . An adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal, comprising  Clostridium butyricum  and/or at least one species selected from the group consisting of lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genus  Lactobacillus  and the genus  Bifidobacterium.    
   
   
       2 . (canceled) 
   
   
       3 . The adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 1 , wherein said  Clostridium butyricum  is at least one species selected from the group consisting of  Clostridium butyricum  MIYAIRI 588 (FERM BP-2789),  Clostridium butyricum  (FERM P-11868),  Clostridium butyricum  (FERM P-11869), and  Clostridium butyricum  (FERM P-11870). 
   
   
       4 . (canceled) 
   
   
       5 . The adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 1 , wherein said lactic acid bacterium is at least one species selected from a group consisted of  Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium bifidum , and  Bifidobacterium infantis.    
   
   
       6 . The adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 1 , wherein said alimentary canal is the upper alimentary canal and/or the lower alimentary canal. 
   
   
       7 . The adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 1 , wherein said alimentary canal is the large intestine. 
   
   
       8 . A method for lavaging the alimentary canal comprising using an adjunctive agent for lavaging the alimentary canal, said adjunctive agent comprising  Clostridium butyricum  and/or at least one species selected from a group consisted of lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genus  Lactobacillus  and the genus  Bifidobacterium  prior to the use of a cleaning agent for lavaging the alimentary canal. 
   
   
       9 . (canceled) 
   
   
       10 . The method of lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 8 , wherein said  Clostridium butyricum  is at least one species selected from the group consisting of  Clostridium butyricum  MIYAIRI 588 (FERM BP-2789),  Clostridium butyricum  (FERM P-11868),  Clostridium butyricum  (FERM P-11869), and  Clostridium butyricum  (FERM P-11870). 
   
   
       11 . (canceled) 
   
   
       12 . The method of lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 8 , wherein said lactic acid bacteria is at least one species selected from a group consisted of  Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium bifidum , and  Bifidobacterium infantis.    
   
   
       13 . The method of lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 8 , wherein said alimentary canal is the upper alimentary canal and/or the lower alimentary canal. 
   
   
       14 . The method of lavaging the alimentary canal according to  claim 8 , wherein said alimentary canal is the large intestine.
