Vaccination is an efficient and cost-effective strategy to combat and eradicate deadly infectious diseases. Oral vaccines enable stimulation of protective mucosal and systemic immune responses to establish broader and long-lasting protection. Additionally, oral delivery has its other merits like enhanced patient compliance, price-effectiveness, large-scale production, no harm and infection from the needle and so one.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are considered potential candidates as mucosal vaccine vectors. One major advantage of recombinant LAB strains as delivery vehicles for vaccines is their potential to elicit specific systemic and mucosal immune responses against selected antigens. One vaccine is Whole-Cell LAB-Based Vaccines that express the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2. The spike (S) protein of coronaviruses mediates receptor binding and membrane fusion and is crucial for determining host tropism and transmission capacity.
