Salmonella Vaccine One Step Closer to Reality With Research Breakthrough
A vaccine designed to help protect against salmonella bacteria is one step closer to reality thanks to research by scientists at the University of Florida. According to a newly published study from the team, particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs), which cells use to communicate with each other, may hold the key to new types of vaccines.
The study, which was led by Mariola Edelmann, an assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology & Cell Science, looked into whether a type of EVs known as exosomes may play a role in how the body fights salmonella, a bacteria that can be transmitted on food and from animals. Based on this idea, the team used exosomes from white blood cells that had been infected with the bacteria.
