Typhoid, live attenuated, vaccine contains strains of Salmonella typhi, the etiological agent of typhoid fever, an acute, febrile enteric disease. The S. typhi Ty21a vaccine strain, by virtue of a reduction in enzymes essential for lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, is restricted in its ability to produce complete lipopolysaccharide. However, a sufficient quantity of complete lipopolysaccharide is synthesized to evoke a protective immune response. |
