This is quite remarkable with great promise for a new kind of bacterial vaccine that could be used to treat all manner of disease… but also something potentially weaponized. A commensal bacterium engineered to induce autoimmunity = a horrific bioweapon #proceedwithcaution #dualuseresearch
Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55
