Lead Research Organisation: University of Nottingham
Department Name: School of Life Sciences

Abstract

Hyper-vesiculating E.coli will be engineered to produce outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) containing antigens from Clostridium difficile. These OMVs will be tested for their protective efficacy against C. diff infection in relevant animal models.
