Researchers developed a novel GMMA vaccine through genetic engineering to display specific antigens on bacterial surfaces, inducing a strong antibody response. This vaccine candidate shows potential to provide immune protection against infections caused by different Salmonella serovars.
Typhoid and paratyphoid fevers have a high incidence worldwide and coexist in many geographical areas, especially in low-middle-income countries (LMIC) in South and Southeast Asia. There is extensive consensus on the urgent need for better and affordable vaccines against systemic Salmonella infections. Generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA), outer membrane exosomes shed by Salmonella bacteria genetically manipulated to increase blebbing, resemble the bacterial surface where protective antigens are displayed in their native environment. Here, we engineered S. Paratyphi A using the pDC5-viaB plasmid to generate GMMA displaying the heterologous S. Typhi Vi antigen together with the homologous O:2 O antigen. The presence of both Vi and O:2 was confirmed by flow cytometry on bacterial cells, and their amount was quantified on the resulting vesicles through a panel of analytical methods. When tested in mice, such GMMA induced a strong antibody response against both Vi and O:2, and these antibodies were functional in a serum bactericidal assay. Our approach yielded a bivalent vaccine candidate able to induce immune responses against different Salmonella serovars, which could benefit LMIC residents and travelers.
