This document discusses lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their potential use as vaccines. It outlines that LAB naturally colonize mucosal membranes and could serve as ideal mucosal vaccine delivery vehicles. Examples are given of LAB like Lactococcus lactis being genetically engineered to express antigens from pathogens like Brucella abortis and Helicobacter pylori. The benefits of LAB vaccines are their safety, ability to survive the stomach, and lack of endotoxicity. Future work aims to develop multi-valent LAB vaccine vectors in clinical trials with biological containment to ensure environmental safety.
