Scientists are researching group A strep in hope of aiding the development of a vaccine against the infection.
The "pioneering" trial is funded by Spencer Dayman Meningitis Research. The charity was set up in 2002 in memory of Spencer who died of meningitis and sepsis at 14 months.Dr Dayman added: "Back then [1982] there were no vaccines to protect against bacterial infections causing meningitis and sepsis, now we have five vaccines in the UK vaccine program to protect against various strains of disease.
The immune response will then be measured to help them decide which parts of the bacteria could be included in a successful vaccine.
