Induction of emetic, pyrexic, and behavioral effects of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B in the ferret.

abstract：:An attenuated Salmonella typhi Ty21a vaccine was administered to 18 infants and toddlers (less than or equal to 24 months old) to determine its safety and immunogenicity. The vaccination (10(9) CFU per dose, three doses) was well tolerated. However, after the vaccination there was no evidence of a humoral or cellular ...
