FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to health-promoting compositions and methods for preparing them. A method for preparing the composition of non-living lactic acid bacilli, possessing an ability of specific binding to Streptococcus mutans, involves the following stages: heating a cell suspension of lactic acid bacillus or a mixture of lactic acid bacilli possessing an ability of specific binding to Streptococcus mutans from an initial temperature of less than 40°C to a pasteurisation temperature of 75 to 85°C with a temperature variation within the range of 0.5 to 2°C/min, keeping the heated suspension at a pasteurisation temperature of 20 to 40 minutes and cooling the suspension to a final temperature of less than 40°C within the range of 0.5 to 2°C/min. The specific binding the cell suspension of the lactic acid bacillus or the mixture of lactic acid bacilli to Streptococcus mutans is stable to heat treatment and/or resistant to proteases and/or calcium-dependent and/or is observed within the range of pH values falling within the range of 4.5 and 8.5, and/or in the saliva environment.
EFFECT: invention enables producing the agent preventing or delaying the caries lesion formation.
