New Oral Salmonella Vaccine May Protect Against Anthrax

Tag it:

Researchers in the United States and abroad have developed an oral Salmonella-based vaccine that protects mice against aerosolized anthrax and may also have human implications.

Anthrax is a deadly disease that affects wildlife, livestock, and humans, and poses a serious threat as a potential biological weapon.

Currently, there is a vaccine licensed for use in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, and although effective, it requires multiple injections over several months, is expensive to produce and only available to military personnel.

The findings from this research will be presented in an upcoming issue of the journal "Infection and Immunity."
