    Abstract: The present invention is directed to beneficially directing the bidirectional communication that exists between the brain and the gut so as to influence brain physiology, psychological responses and ultimately behavior in a positive manner by regulating an individual's mood, psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression and stress-related changes in brain function, by modifying the gut microbiome of an individual. An various embodiments, an individual's microbiome is modified in a manner to reduce the likelihood of stress, to reduce or treat symptoms affecting mental health and to promote the mental health of the individual. In certain embodiments, administration to an individual of at least three different bacteria species are combined to modify an individual's microbiome, selected from the group of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, Coprococcus, Roseburia, Bifidobacterium, L. casei and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, to reduce adverse psychological and/or physiological responses attendant to psychological stress. Other embodiments reduce certain bacterial populations, such as Veillonella and Megasphaer, while in other embodiments, bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide, methane and acetate are reduced to beneficially affect an individual's mental health.

    Abstract: Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome. Embodiments include methods for treating an individual suffering from acne vulgaris by topically administering a composition that includes live bacteria selected from the group consisting of L. reuteri, L. johnsonii, L. crispatus, C. acnes, and Nitrosomonas eutropha, that have been modified by using a using a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) CRISPR associated protein (Cas) system or a CRISPR from Prevotella and Francisella 1(Cpf1) system to reduce the production of a virulence factor of the bacteria.

    Abstract: Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome. A topical application of Lactobacillus crispatus is employed to ameliorate skin barrier damage and inflammation using unique combinations of probiotics, prebiotics, and other skin-beneficial ingredients, effectively treating inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne. The topical application of Lactobacillus crispatus to an individual's skin reduces inflammation through the production of tryptophan metabolites that act as AHR agonists.

    Abstract: A method for treating an individual suffering from bladder cancer employs a CRISPR system to selectively kill or reduce the numbers of pathogenic bacteria within the individual and the individual is then administered an immune checkpoint inhibitor. In particular embodiments, the pathogenic bacteria is one of E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella bacteria, and the checkpoint inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of nivolumab, pembrolizumab, dostarlimab, pidilizumab, AMP-224, AMP-514, STI-A1110, TSR-042, RG-7446, BMS-936559, MEDI-4736, MSB-0020718C, AUR-012 and STI-A1010. Further embodiments include enhancing the growth of a second bacteria in the individual, such bacteria including Akkermansia, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, Enterococcus, Fusobacterium, Coprococcus, Lactobacillus, Propionibacterium, Ruminococcus, Veillonella, Prevotella, Escherichia and Streptococcus. The CRISPR system may include Cas9, Cpf1 and Cas3, and may be delivered using a bacteriophage.
