Joanne Cummins and Mark Tangney Infectious Agents and Cancer 2013, 8:11 doi:10.1186/1750-9378-8-11 Published: 28 March 2013 Abstract (provisional) Associations between different bacteria and various tumours have been reported in patients for decades. Studies involving characterisation of bacteria within tumour tissues have traditionally been in the context of tumourigenesis as a result of bacterial presence within healthy tissues, and in general, […]
VRM: PCV Vaccine Exposed – Breeding Ground For Staphylococcus Aureus
By Joel Lord The road-map leading to most neurological & neuro-developmental disorders traces back to the earliest vaccines administered to babies (HEP B, DTaP, PCV, RV, HIB, IPV, MMR). Timing is the key – a premature breach of the delicate, under-developed “electrical grid network” designed to protect the baby’s brain & nervous system (Myelin Sheath, Blood-Brain […]
Genetics study reveals how pneumococcus bacteria evolve to evade vaccines
By Welcome Trust Genetics has provided surprising insights into why vaccines used in both the UK and US to combat serious childhood infections can eventually fail. The study, published today in Nature Genetics, which investigates how bacteria change their disguise to evade the vaccines, has implications for how future vaccines can be made more effective. Pneumococcus […]
Clean Vaccines Aid Fight Against Infectious Disease
From Drug Discovery and Development A new class of therapeutics, known as recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccines (RASV), holds potential in the fight against fatal diseases including hepatitis B, tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid fever, AIDS, and pneumonia. Qingke Kong and his colleagues at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, have developed a technique to make such […]
Research Shows How Bacteria Stay Ahead Of Vaccines And Antibiotics
By Sara New research provides the first detailed genetic picture of an evolutionary war between Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria and the vaccines and antibiotics used against it over recent decades. Large-scale genome sequencing reveals patterns of adaptation and the spread of a drug-resistant lineage of the S. pneumoniae bacteria. The study unmasks the genetic events by […]
