Protective immunity elicited by oral immunization of mice with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium Braun lipoprotein (Lpp) and acetyltransferase (MsbB) mutants

We evaluated the extent of attenuation and immunogenicity of the ∆lppAB and ∆lppAB ∆msbB mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium when delivered to mice by the oral route. These mutants were deleted either for the Braun lipoprotein genes (lppA and lppB) or in combination with the msbB gene...
