Researchers develop approach to alter intestinal microbiota, vaccinate against inflammatory diseases
ATLANTA–Targeted immunization against bacterial flagellin, a protein that forms the appendage that enables bacterial mobility, can beneficially alter the intestinal microbiota, decreasing the bacteria’s ability to cause inflammation and thus protecting against an array of chronic inflammatory diseases, according to…
A vaccine against chronic inflammatory diseases
Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis, are linked to abnormalities of the gut microbiota in humans and in animals. Patients generally present reduced bacterial diversity in their intestinal flora along with excessive levels of bacteria…
