Application of Bacillus subtilis as a live vaccine vector: A review

[摘要] Bacillus subtilis is widely used as a probiotic in various fields as it regulates intestinal flora, improves animal growth performance, enhances body immunity, has short fermentation cycle, and is economic. With the rapid development of DNA recombination technology, B. subtilis has been used as a potential vaccine expression vector for the treatment and prevention of various diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites as it can effectively trigger an immune response in the body. In this review, we refer to previous literature and provide a comprehensive analysis and overview of the feasibility of using B. subtilis as a vaccine expression vector, with an aim to provide a valuable reference for the establishment of efficient vaccines.
