Infectious diseases present a persistent global health threat. For patients with life-threatening diseases caused by bacterial pathogens, antibiotics provide the last resort. Antibiotic resistance, even for newly developed antibiotics, is widespread within the bacterial community. New strategies are urgently needed to combat most bacterial infections. This proposal will investigate a new strategy to train and boost our immune systems to combat infectious diseases.

传染病是一种持续的全球健康威胁。对于患有细菌病原体引起的危及生命的疾病的患者，抗生素是最后的手段。抗生素耐药性，即使是新开发的抗生素，在细菌群落中也很普遍。迫切需要新的策略来对抗大多数细菌感染。该提案将研究一种新的策略，以训练和增强我们的免疫系统，以对抗传染病。
