Active Ingredient Description
Typhoid, live attenuated

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.
