Limitation

Resolvent

STEC strain (O157:H7 serotype)

Efficiency restricted to O157:H7 serotype

multi-antigenicity vaccines need to be explored

S. Enteritidis

Slightly toxicity

Improved stratgies to reduce endotoxin activity

E. coli

verification of protection effects only in mice

Further evaluation on other species

Neisseria meningitidis

Short duration when immunization beyond the vaccine strain

Repeat immunization and adapt other components of vaccines to OMVs

Neisseria meningitis

the safety need to be considered because of potent immune response

Vaccination with aluminum hydroxide to ensure safety
