A Vaccine Against Salmonella

Wendy Picking and a team at Oklahoma State University in the U.S. will work to develop a new vaccine for Salmonella that uses a serotype-independent Salmonella antigen combined with an adjuvant to deliver immunity against all serotypes of the bacteria. This vaccine, when administered intradermally, could be a cost-effective way to reduce the overall incidence and severity of diarrhea in children in the developing world.
