Bacterial Vaccines

by John B. Robbins M.D. (Editor), Rachel Schneerson M.D. (Editor), David Klein M.D. (Editor), Jerald Sadoff M.D. (Editor), Carolyn Hardegree M.D. (Editor)

Overview

Vaccines represent the greatest achievements of one area of science for increasing our health and well-being. This collection of papers represents the latest advances in bacterial vaccine research. The papers presented at this symposium illustrate the increasing potential and need for continuing research into disease pathogenesis, host resistance mechanisms, and vaccine development. Further, the study of bacterial vaccines provides an important method for characterizing pathogenic mechanisms and natural and induced host resistance mechanisms.
