Scientists sniff out meningitis vaccine clue using common bacteria

NCT ID NCT03549325

Summary

This study aimed to gather information to help develop a future nasal vaccine to prevent meningitis. Researchers gave 21 healthy adults nose drops containing a harmless bacteria (Neisseria lactamica) to see how the body's immune system responded. They tested whether giving an antibiotic to clear the bacteria after 4 days or 14 days changed the immune response, which will help plan future vaccine research.
