AB Several  bacterial  diseases  can  be  prevented  by  using  immunizations  that  induce  either  active  or  passive  immunity.  Active  immunity  is  induced  by  vaccines  prepared  from  bacteria  or  their  products.  This  chapter  presents  a  summary  of  the  types  of  vaccines  (Table  12–1);  detailed  information  regarding  each  vaccine  is  located  in  the  chapters  on  the  specific  organisms.  Passive  immunity  is  provided  by  the  administration  of  preformed  antibody  in  preparations  called  immune  globulins.  The  immune  globulins  useful  against  bacterial  diseases  are  described  later.  Passive–active  immunity  involves  giving  both  immune  globulins  to  provide  immediate  protection  and  a  vaccine  to  provide  long-term  protection.  This  approach  is  described  later  in  the  section  on  tetanus  antitoxin.
