Four staff members from the Spobio Research Center, ANABIO R&D Ltd, represented the company at the 27th National Scientific Conference on Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, held from November 1st to 3rd, 2024, in Ninh Binh City, Ninh Binh Province. This prestigious event attracted numerous leading experts, doctors, and pharmacists from both domestic and international communities to discuss, share, and update each other on prominent advancements in the field of Otolaryngology.
At the conference, Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Pham Tran Anh, who works at the Central Otolaryngology Hospital and is also a lecturer at the Department of Otolaryngology, Hanoi Medical University, presented a report titled “Effectiveness of Nasal-spraying Bacillus Spores in Preventing Respiratory Tract Infections in Children: Results from the Community Intervention Study 2023-2024.” This report is part of a scientific project in collaboration with the Institute of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, and the Spobio Research Center, ANABIO R&D Ltd. The report highlighted the safety and superior efficacy of the LiveSpo® NAVAX and LiveSpo® NAVAX KIDS products in protecting children’s respiratory health. Specifically, LiveSpo® NAVAX significantly reduced the incidence of typical respiratory infection symptoms such as runny nose, sinusitis, hoarseness, sore throat, and tonsillitis by up to 60% after 14 and 28 days of use. Furthermore, the rate of children missing school due to illness and the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications also showed a significant decrease. Notably, LiveSpo® NAVAX and LiveSpo® NAVAX KIDS helped reduce the rate of bacterial infections by up to 70% and decreased the risk of viral infections such as RSV and influenza by more than 11 folds, showing superior results compared to the use of saline solution.
The study results present new opportunities for using Bacillus spores to prevent respiratory diseases in children, especially during seasonal changes. The report by Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Pham Tran Anh received considerable attention and high praise from leading experts and doctors in the field of Otolaryngology.
