College of Veterinary Medicine, Al-Qasim Green University discussed a master dissertation on a bacteriological and immunological study of bacterial ghosts of Campylobacter ssp isolates and immunological applications by the postgraduate student, Ms. Israa Muhi Abd Al-Hussein.
The dissertation aimed at evaluating the possibility of using Campylobacter jejuni ghosts as a vaccine to stimulate the immune response in laboratory animals while measuring the effectiveness of the vaccine.
The dissertation reviewed agricultural tests and molecular examinations using PCR technology, genetic tree analysis, and immunological tests using qPCR.
The dissertation demonstrated the possibility of using bacterial ghosts, which are empty envelopes of dead bacteria but retain their immune properties, in preventing diseases.
The dissertation emphasized the importance of this vaccine in dealing with bacteria that cause intestinal and animal diseases such as intestinal infections and food poisoning.
