Bacterial vaccines are a form of active immunotherapy that uses suspensions of specific bacteria to stimulate the patient's immune system. Unlike conventional vaccines for infectious diseases, they are personalized to each case's bacteriological and immune profile, with the goal of strengthening the body's natural defenses.
How do they work?
Giving selected bacteria in controlled doses triggers a specific, measurable immune response:
Immunoglobulin stimulation
They promote the production of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM), the main antibodies that defend against bacterial infections.
Lymphocyte activation
They activate T and B lymphocytes, key cells of the adaptive immune system, improving the response to future infections.
Immune memory
The body develops memory against the bacteria in the vaccine, reducing how often and how severely recurrent infections occur over the long term.
When are they indicated?
- ✓ Recurrent respiratory infections — ear infections, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia.
- ✓ Immunodeficiencies with antibody deficiency.
- ✓ Patients with asthma or rhinitis who have repeated bacterial infections.
- ✓ Poor response to standard antibiotics in chronic infections.
Personalized preparation
The bacteria in the vaccine are selected after a complete immunological and microbiological assessment of the patient:
Prior assessment
Medical history, laboratory tests and a bacteriological profile to identify the agents causing recurrent infections.
Specific formulation
The bacterial suspension is prepared with the strains identified in the patient, ensuring a targeted and effective immune response.
Dosing schedule
The specialist sets the dose, frequency and length of treatment according to the patient's clinical and immune progress.
Ongoing follow-up
Immunoglobulin levels and the clinical response are monitored to adjust treatment when needed.
Bacterial vaccines in Guadalajara
Dr. Rodolfo Salazar Villa designs personalized bacterial vaccine schedules based on each patient's complete immunological assessment. The Unidad de Alergia, Asma e Inmunología Clínica has the laboratory and experience needed for this treatment in Guadalajara and at Hospital Puerta de Hierro Sur.
