Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Deirdre B Ni Eidhin"
- Deirdre B Ni Eidhin's research primarily focuses on developing immunization strategies to combat Clostridium difficile infections, a significant cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, particularly in vulnerable populations like the elderly.
- She has explored both active and passive immunization approaches, utilizing surface-layer proteins (SLP) as vaccine components and assessing their efficacy in hamster models, which provide insights into immune responses and protective effects against the infection.
- Her findings indicate that both active immunization with SLP and passive immunization using specific antibodies can offer protection against C. difficile infections, suggesting promising avenues for therapeutic interventions in clinical settings.
