[Protection of an oral vaccine against experimental infection of mice and its role combined with the administration of penicillin].

Abstract

The AA. studied the immunologic profile of an oral vaccine to prevent the experimental infection in mice and its effect when it was administered with antibiotic. The mice were infected with Staphylococcus aureus and protected by the vaccine administration. Our results confirmed the higher survival in the group that used this combination. The observed mortality was lower in group of mice treated with vaccine and penicillin combination, than in the untreated group.
