The capacity of a previously described plasmid vector pAZ to deliver bioactive proteins to targets in vivo has been studied. This vector molecule has a strong constitutive promoter, is extremely stable in cells of vaccinal S. choleraesuis strain, and encodes the synthesis of marker protein beta-galactosidase which helps monitor the vector's fate in the host. The gene encoding hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) has been inserted into pAZ under its constitutive promoter. The resultant recombinant plasmid p19-24 has been used to transform Enterobacteriaceae (E. coli and S. choleraesuis) cells. Transformed cells produce immunologically active HBcAg. p19-24 was stable in S. choleraesuis cells during their culturing and during this strain persistence in mice. Triple oral immunization of rabbits in a dose of 1 x 10(9) S. choleraesuis cells TC177 induced the production of virus-specific antibodies. Successful transformation of cells of another vaccinal strain S. abortus ovis by this plasmid extends the potentialities of the vector. The results demonstrate good prospects of using pAZ vector for the construction of live oral vaccines.

Non-typhoidal (NTS) is a major global foodborne pathogen that poses a major public health concern worldwide, and no vaccines are available for protecting against infection of multiple serotypes, therefore, the development of vaccines to provide broad protection is valuable. In this work, we aimed to regulate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis of live for exposing conserved protein antigens on the outer membrane while maintaining smooth LPS patterns to keep their original ability to invade host cells for inducing cross-protection against infection of multiple serotypes. We generated a series of mutants defective in genes to affect the length of LPS.

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are membranous structures frequently observed in Gram-negative bacteria that contain bioactive substances. These vesicles are rich in bacterial antigens that can activate the host's immune system, making them a promising candidate vaccine to prevent and manage bacterial infections. The aim of this study was to assess the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of OMVs derived from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and S.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that bacteriophages (phages) can effectively treat intestinal bacterial infections. However, research on the impact of phages on overall body health once they enter the intestine is limited. This study utilized weaned piglets as subjects to evaluate the systemic effects of an orally administered phage cocktail on their health.

Nontyphoidal salmonellosis is an important foodborne and zoonotic infection that causes significant global public health concern. Diverse serovars are multidrug-resistant and encode several virulence indicators; however, little is known on the role prophages play in driving these traits. Here, we extracted prophages from seventy-five genomes which represent the fifteen important serovars in the United Kingdom.

Antimicrobial peptides, such as bacteriocin, produced by probiotics have become a promising novel class of therapeutic agents for treating infectious diseases. Selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fermented foods with probiotic potential were evaluated for various tests, including exopolysaccharide production, antibiotic susceptibility, acid and bile tolerance, antibacterial activity, and cell adhesion and cytotoxicity to gastric cell lines. Six selected LAB strains maintained their high viability under gastrointestinal conditions, produced high exopolysaccharides, showed no or less cytotoxicity, and adhered successfully to gastric cells.
