A new super-vaccine with the ability to eliminate all 90 known strains of the world’s most deadly bacterial disease is being developed.

Lead researcher James Paton said G-PN would help to increase immune responses to pneumococcus because it kept the antigenic structure of protein surfaces on the bacterium.
