Inducing Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) Strain Isolated from the Microbiome of a Healthy Human Subject
- LTA was initially discovered from a prostate secretion of a healthy human subject with no pelvic pain.
- The commensal S. epidermidis (SE) strain was isolated, purified and characterized – and was shown to have beneficial anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in mouse chronic pelvic pain models.
- These beneficial effects of SE were shown to be mediated by SE LipoTeichoic Acid i.e., SELTA.
