Siderophore Receptor Proteins (SRPs) are doorways on the bacterial cell wall for iron. Pathogenic bacteria must use their SRPs to acquire iron when colonizing the gut wall. Without iron, bacteria cannot infect host tissues.
Ideally, we want to stop pathogenic bacteria before they can cause disease in the gut. When an animal has immunity to SRPs, the iron acquisition process is interrupted by blocking the doorways. Without iron, pathogenic bacteria die before they can cause damage to the gut.
How do you get a custom SRP vaccine? Submit a fecal swab or your current isolates. Through our patented process, we will grow your bacteria and harvest the SRPs to create a custom vaccine.
