A research group at Henry Wellcome Laboratories for Integrative Neuroscience and Endocrinology, University of Bristol, Bristol, England, UK has shown that heat-killed ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' injected into mice stimulated a newly discovered group of [[neurons]], increased levels of serotonin and decreased levels of anxiety in mice.<ref name="immune" /> Other researchers fed live ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' to mice, then measured their ability to navigate a maze compared to control mice not fed the bacteria.

''Mycobacterium vaccae'' is in the same [[genus]] as ''[[Mycobacterium tuberculosis]]'', the bacterium which causes [[tuberculosis]]. Numerous trials have indicated that exposure to oral and injectable products derived from ''M. vaccae'' bacteria can have positive effects in treating tuberculosis. Although a 20022003 review of selected clinical trials failed to find any consistent benefit of certain dosage regimens of injectable ''Mycobacterium'' products in people with tuberculosis,<ref name=cochran1>{{citeCite journal |last1last=de Bruyn |first1first=GuyG. |last2=Garner |first2=PaulP. |date=2003 |title=Mycobacterium vaccae immunotherapy for treating tuberculosis |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12535403 |journal=The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews |volume=2003 |issue=1 |pages=CD001166 |date=20 January 2003 |doi=10.1002/14651858.CD001166 |issn=1469-493X |pmid=12535403|pmc=6532629 }}</ref> a more recentsubsequent meta-analysis of 54 clinical studies of M. vaccae products for tuberculosis showed treatment resulted in improved sputum conversion and radiological (X-ray) assessment.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Yang |first1=Xiao-Yan |last2=Chen |first2=Qun-Fei |last3=Li |first3=You-Ping |last4=Wu |first4=Si-Miao |last5=Cardona |first5=Pere-Joan |title=Mycobacterium vaccae as Adjuvant Therapy to Anti-Tuberculosis Chemotherapy in Never-Treated Tuberculosis Patients: A Meta-Analysis |journal=PLOS ONE |date=6 September 2011 |volume=6 |issue=9 |pages=e23826 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0023826 |pmid=21909406 |pmc=3167806 |bibcode=2011PLoSO...623826Y |doi-access=free }}</ref>
Medical researchers at Kharkiv National Medical University, Kharkiv, Ukraine have reported two clinical trials with oral formulations of Immunitor Inc's killed ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' oral vaccine and An Hui Longcom's killed ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' oral vaccine in treating tuberculosis, including drug resistant TB (MDR-TB).

A team of researchers at the Genetics and Microbiology Department of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain discovered that ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' changes from its "smooth" type to its "rough" type (referring to how colonies of this organism appear under a microscope) at thirty degrees Celsius. They discovered that the "smooth" type of ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' has a substance on the outside of its cell wall which interferes with the production of Th-1 [[cytokines]], responsible for some kinds of [[T-helper cell]] [[immune response]]. The team also found that the [[spleen]] cells of mice inoculated with "rough" ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' produced more Th-1 cytokines than those inoculated with "smooth" ''Mycobacterium vaccae''. The researchers say this may explain why different vaccines made from ''Mycobacterium vaccae'' vary in their effectiveness in increasing immune response to other organisms during [[clinical trials]].<ref name="polyester">{{factcite journal |last1=Rodríguez-Güell |first1=Elisabeth |last2=Agustí |first2=Gemma |last3=Corominas |first3=Mercè |last4=Cardona |first4=Pere-Joan |last5=Casals |first5=Isidre |last6=Parella |first6=Teodor |last7=Sempere |first7=Marco-Antonio |last8=Luquin |first8=Marina |last9=Julián |first9=Esther |title=The production of a new extracellular putative long-chain saturated polyester by smooth variants of Mycobacterium vaccae interferes with Th1-cytokine production |journal=Antonie van Leeuwenhoek |date=December2 May 2006 |volume=90 |issue=1 |pages=93–108 |doi=10.1007/s10482-006-9062-1 |pmid=16652204 |s2cid=11860047 2019}}</ref>
