“…Our laboratories have focused on the development of vaccines composed of live attenuated strains and defined subunit antigens.MethodsIn the current study, we evaluated homologous and heterologous combinations of candidate subunits and live vaccines in a murine aerosol model of melioidosis to determine the effects of vaccine composition and delivery scheme on protection in conjunction with immune responses and bacterial clearance.ResultsBoth strategies provided significant protection against lethal aerosol challenges, and the accumulated data support that a heterologous vaccination strategy employing capsular polysaccharide conjugate and Hcp1 subunits and a live but highly safe capsular polysaccharide-producing surrogate strain of B. thailandensis is an effective and potentially agile prophylactic strategy.…”
