Vaccine For E. Coli In
Cattle
July 25, 2002
By KOMO Staff & News Services
UNDATED - Researchers in
British Columbia have developed a vaccine to protect cattle against E.
coli.
It prevents the e-coli bacteria from reproducing in cows. And since
humans usually get the bacteria from beef, the vaccine dramatically
reduces the chances of E. coli in people.
Right now, the vaccine is being tested on cattle in Canada. If
successful, the vaccine could be widely used in two years.
