title: Protection of mice against bacterial infection by oral administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide.
abstract: The effect of orally administered bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on host resistance against bacterial infections was studied. LPS orally given for 5 consecutive days prior to infection caused no apparent toxic effect and protected mice against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes infections.
