Scientists test live oral vaccine to block two major causes of Traveler's diarrhea

NCT ID NCT04634513

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety and immune response of a new oral vaccine designed to prevent two common bacterial causes of severe diarrhea: Shigella and a type of E. coli (ETEC). Healthy adult volunteers received either the vaccine or a placebo in a single dose, and researchers closely monitored them for side effects and signs of an immune response. The main goal was to see if the vaccine was safe and if it triggered the body's defenses against these infections.
