When administered to bedsore model mice to examine the bedsore-relieving effect, an Enterococcus faecalis strain (EC-12 strain), which is an example of lactic acid bacteria, exhibited a significant effect of relieving bedsore from the early stage after the formation of the bedsore in the mice. Thus, it is clarified that the Enterococcus faecalis strain (EC-12 strain) is very advantageously usable in drugs, foods and drinks for preventing bedsore or healing the same at the early stage.
