Nov. 13, 2009 -- If you've ever suffered through a bad case of food poisoning, you'll be glad to know that Naval scientist Dr. Patricia Guerry is looking out for you.
Food-borne illness strikes more than 76 million Americans a year and hundreds of millions worldwide, and its most common cause in the United Sates is the Campylobacter microbe.
Dr. Guerry of the Naval Medical Research Center has invented a new vaccine against Campylobacter, which has worked spectacularly in early trials and may be only a couple of years away from human trials.
After decades of study, Dr. Guerry appears to be on the cusp of satisfying the military's mandate of finding ways to deal with or eliminate food borne illnesses that can harm our military service members as well as civilians in our country and the world.
Over the past three years, the rate of her research has been progressing at a breakneck pace.
Working with Canadian chemist Mario Monteiro, Dr. Guerry's group has advanced a vaccine through a series of tests that culminated in a definitive monkey trial in 2008.
The vaccinated animals were completely protected from intestinal disease when challenged with this debilitating microbe.
Dr. Guerry has already marshaled the resources for human trials to commence in the next few years.
Her work is not only solving the problem for the military, she is also helping Third World nations as Campylobacter is a leading cause of food-borne illness in children in underdeveloped countries.
