Summary
This study tested whether a vaccine already approved for meningitis (Bexsero) can also protect against gonorrhea. About 65 healthy men received either the meningitis vaccine or a placebo, then were exposed to the gonorrhea bacteria in a controlled setting. The goal was to see if the vaccine reduces infection rates, which could lead to a new way to prevent this sexually transmitted disease.
