A Simple and Rapid Method of Probiotic Bacterial Ghost Cell Preparation to Deliver Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigen.

A bacterial ghost cell is an empty cell envelope of bacteria lacking cytoplasmic content. Bacterial ghost cells (BGs) can be used for various applications such as vaccines, adjuvants, and drug delivery systems. Since BGs offer many advantages over classically prepared vaccines, developing novel methods for the preparation of high-quality BGs remains to be an interesting field of study by various research groups.
