Combatting major causes of morbidity and mortality, bacterial vaccines protect against pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bordetella pertussis, and Salmonella typhi. These vaccines span inactivated, subunit, and conjugate formats, each tailored to different epidemiological needs. Ongoing research focuses on boosting durability, reducing reactogenicity, and adapting formulations for antibiotic-resistant strains. Novel adjuvants and delivery technologies are also extending their reach to underserved populations. With rising concerns over global resistance and emerging bacterial threats, bacterial vaccines offer critical tools for preventive care and are integral to future infectious disease strategies across age groups and geographies.
