Engineered Bacteria for Cholera Prophylaxis.

Engineered Bacteria for Cholera Prophylaxis. Cell Host Microbe. 2018 Aug 08;24(2):192-194 Authors: Satchell KJF Abstract Over 1.3 billion persons are at risk for cholera globally. Vaccination campaigns are growing, but intervention options providing nearly immediate protection are also needed. Two recent papers in Science Translational Medicine describe probiotic bacteria that reduce intestinal colonization in animal models and show promise for development as prophylaxis agents.
