Suppressing SARS-CoV-2 on Surfaces with Environmental Probiotics

Method:
EnviroBiotics suspension incubated with SARS-CoV-2 viral particles; measurements at 15 min, 1 h, and 3 h. Spike-protein inactivation confirmed via colony-forming assay against untreated controls.
Key result:
67% viral neutralization within 15 minutes, 97.7% within 3 hours. Control surfaces showed no spontaneous decline.

Direct evidence for room-level surface defense see how the BA-2080 applies this in a home setting.

Indoor Allergen Elimination by Bacillus-Based Environmental Probiotics

Method:
8-day controlled application supervised by Dr. Sivasankar Baalasubramanian, with a parallel longer-period simulation at EMSL Analytical Laboratories (NJ). Allergen concentrations measured against baseline.
Key result:
Cumulative, statistically meaningful decrease in dust-mite, pet-dander, and mold allergens. Probiotic Bacillus cells secrete proteolytic enzymes that degrade allergenic epitopes.

Direct evidence for surface allergen activity see how the BioLogic Mini and Biotica 800 deliver this in homes and nurseries.

Reducing healthcare-associated infections incidence by a probiotic-based sanitation system: a multicentre, prospective, intervention study

Method:
Multicentre prospective trial across six Italian hospitals. Conventional chemical disinfection was replaced by a Bacillus-based probiotic cleaning system (PCHS). HAI rates and antimicrobial use tracked over the intervention period.
Key result:
~52% reduction in cumulative HAI incidence and a parallel reduction in antimicrobial drug consumption. Published in PLOS ONE.

Whole-facility, HVAC-level evidence closest in scale to the E-Biotic Pro deployed across whole homes and small commercial spaces.

Pathogen Control in the Built Environment: A Probiotic-Based System as a Remedy for the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance

Method:
Review and field data on the impact of Bacillus-based probiotic sanitation (PCHS) on the resistome of indoor environments, with metagenomic profiling of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs).
Key result:
Continuous probiotic cleaning significantly lowered pathogen load and the abundance of ARGs on indoor surfaces vs. chemical disinfection. Published in Microorganisms (MDPI).

Mechanism evidence for competitive exclusion at scale relevant to the E-Biotic Pro for whole-home HVAC integration.

Hard surface biocontrol in hospitals using microbial-based cleaning products

Method:
8-week trial comparing conventional disinfectants vs. a probiotic cleaner containing Bacillus subtilis, B. pumilus, and B. megaterium on hospital hard surfaces. Surface swabs analyzed for S. aureus, E. coli, Candida albicans and other pathogens.
Key result:
Stable, long-term reduction of pathogens on treated surfaces competitive exclusion confirmed across the full trial. Published in PLOS ONE.

Foundational competitive-exclusion evidence applies to every device in the lineup, including the Biotica 800 for medium-sized rooms.
