Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common cause of bacterial pneumonia, generally enters the body through the nose. While the current intramuscular immunizations are effective in fighting the disease, their ability to protect against bacterial carriage in the nasal passages is only 50-60%.
In the study, published in Infection and Immunity, mice were immunized intranasally, treated with interleukin-12 to enhance mucosal immune response and then challenged with varying strains of S. pneumoniae. The researchers found a 75% survival rate of vaccinated mice as ...
