Mutaflor® capsules contain as the active substance the defined non-pathogenic strain Escherichia coli (E.coli) Nissle 1917. The therapeutic effects of Mutaflor® are strain specific and have been demonstrated by in-vitro and in-vivo experiments and clinical studies, where the following properties and modes of action were detected.
Mutaflor® is a natural colonizer of the gut. E.coli strain Nissle 1917 is a normal, non-pathogenic and non-invasive inhabitant of the human gut. By means of special adhesive organelles (fimbriae) the strain is able to attach to the mucin layer of the gut wall. The strain is well mobile by possessing flagellae, an advantage when colonizing the colon.
