Enteric aerobization therapy

Agents, kits, and methods that utilize oxygenation to prevent and/or treat intestinal inflammation and/or infections caused by anaerobic microorganisms are provided. In several embodiments, the formulations are provided as a capsule within a capsule in order to separate an oxygen prodrug from a catalyst until the formulation is at a target site within the intestine. In several embodiments, the catalyst is provided in an excess of the oxygen prodrug. In several embodiments, the prodrug is within an inner capsule or coating and a biological material comprising a catalyst (e.g., yeast, spirulina, chlorella, etc.) surrounds the encapsulated prodrug and the biological material is within a capsule or coating. The agents, kits, and methods can be utilized to prevent and/or treat anaerobic bacterial infections of the intestinal lumen by enteric aerobization therapy.
