  • Title: Studies on vaccination against bacillary dysentery. 4. Oral immunization with live monotypic and combined vaccines.

    Journal: Bull World Health Organ; 1968; 39(3):375-80. PubMed ID: 5303905.
    Abstract:
    Results of tests made in 1964 confirm the previous findings that live oral vaccine, prepared from streptomycin-dependent strains of shigellae, confers a strong, type-specific protection against acute bacillary dysentery. This vaccine did not reduce the carrier rate of shigellae. Observations on soldiers treated with a vaccine of Shigella flexneri serotypes 2a and 3 combined revealed no antagonizing effects from the type 3 component upon the protective effect of the 2a component contained in the same vaccine.
