A tetravalent Shigella outer membrane vesicles based candidate vaccine offered cross-protection against all the serogroups of Shigella in adult mice

Ushasi Bhaumik et al.

Summary: In today's world and mostly in low and middle income countries, Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei remains the major causative agent of clinical bacillary dysentery. A tetravalent Outer Membrane Vesicle (OMVs) based immunogen was formulated using the most commonly circulating Shigella strains. The results showed that the tetravalent OMVs immunogen induced significant and persistent immune response and provided protection against six heterologous Shigella strains.

Improved DNA Vaccine Delivery with Needle-Free Injection Systems

Carmen Ledesma-Feliciano et al.

Summary: DNA vaccines have advantages such as safety, rapid design, easy manufacture, and thermostability. However, the poor immunogenicity associated with the cellular uptake of DNA delivered by needle and syringe is a major drawback. Various techniques, including needle-free injection systems, have been used to enhance the immunogenicity and efficacy of DNA vaccines. NFIS has shown non-inferior immunogenicity and enhanced responses compared to other delivery methods.

Toward a Shigella Vaccine: Opportunities and Challenges to Fight an Antimicrobial-Resistant Pathogen

Maria Michelina Raso et al.

Summary: Shigellosis is a global health concern, causing over 200,000 deaths worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and young children. The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant strains has made Shigella even more worrisome, leading to the prioritization of this pathogen by the WHO for new intervention development. Despite the lack of broadly available vaccines, ongoing research is providing important insights into Shigella epidemiology, pathogenesis, and potential antigens for vaccine development. Additionally, different technologies are being explored for the creation of a vaccine with broad protection against Shigella.

Functional assays to evaluate antibody-mediated responses against Shigella: a review

Elena Boero et al.

Summary: Shigella is a major global pathogen causing shigellosis, primarily affecting low- and middle-income countries. The role of antibodies in Shigella pathogenesis remains to be elucidated, especially since Shigella is mostly an intracellular pathogen. In vitro assays are important tools to evaluate the functionality of anti-Shigella antibodies, and animal models have been established to partially recapitulate human pathogenesis.

Shigella Outer Membrane Vesicles as Promising Targets for Vaccination

Muhammad Qasim et al.

Summary: Shigellosis is a gastrointestinal infection caused by Shigella spp. The currently available vaccines have been ineffective in preventing this infection. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are promising novel targets for vaccination due to their immunomodulatory, antigenic and adjuvant properties.

Shigella flexneri vaccine development: Oral administration of peptides derived from the 49.8 kDa pili protein subunit activates the intestinal immune response in mice

Khoirul Anam et al.

Summary: This study found that the selected peptides can activate cellular and humoral immune responses in the intestines of mice, which can help in the development of new Shigella vaccines. Further research is needed to optimize antigen delivery and evaluate whether these peptides can prevent bacterial infections.

Pivotal Shigella Vaccine Efficacy Trials-Study Design Considerations from a Shigella Vaccine Trial Design Working Group

Patricia B. Pavlinac et al.

Summary: This article discusses the trial design for Shigella vaccines to meet the regulatory requirements and prevent moderate or severe Shigella infections caused by the strains included in the vaccine. The primary endpoint of the vaccine trials is to evaluate the efficacy of the vaccine against the first episode of acute moderate or severe diarrhea.

Outer membrane vesicles: A bacterial-derived vaccination system

Linda A. Lieberman

Summary: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) derived from Gram-negative bacteria have various important roles and applications, including bacterial pathogenesis, cell-to-cell communication, gene transfer, quorum sensing, and maintenance of bacterial fitness. OMVs can be modified to express antigens, making them suitable for immunization and potential drug delivery. This review highlights the manipulation of OMVs, their use as vaccines, and novel engineering approaches to expand their applications.

Rapid generation of Shigella flexneri GMMA displaying natural or new and cross-reactive O-Antigens

Gianmarco Gasperini et al.

Summary: Generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA) are exosomes released from engineered Gram-negative bacteria and can be used as a vaccine platform to deliver O-antigen, providing protective immunity against various pathogens. By engineering, different GMMA can be obtained, including serotypes that do not exist naturally.

The Shigella Vaccines Pipeline

Calman Alexander MacLennan et al.

Summary: This report outlines the requirements for a Shigella vaccine and describes the current pipeline of research projects. Despite the existence of numerous vaccine candidates, no vaccine has been licensed yet for various reasons. Once the results of clinical trials among young children in low- and middle-income countries are available, the timeline for the licensure of the first Shigella vaccine will become clearer.

Intradermal Vaccination: A Potential Tool in the Battle Against the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Alberto Migliore et al.

Summary: The narrative review suggests that fractional intradermal vaccination can be an effective and efficient strategy for certain vaccines such as influenza, rabies, and hepatitis B. More research is needed for vaccines against other pathogens, but initial findings are promising. During a shortage of COVID-19 vaccines, exploring fractional dosing schemes could help save doses and achieve herd immunity quickly.
