Arming antibiotics with a vaccination-like immune response
Harnessing the ability of the body’s immune system has already well-tried to be effective in treating cancer. Marcos Pires, Ph.D., a Lehigh associate professor of biochemistry performed a test on it. To make it worse, these microorganism perpetually evolve, rendering antibiotics inefficient. Some scientists are making an attempt to tackle the additional protecting layer on gram-negative microorganisms. In their recent analysis, they recruited an antibody to focus on BamA, a protein that builds the outer wall of gram-negative microorganism.
