Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii has become a challenge to treat clinically because of the increased number of extensively drug-resistant strains. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent and control A. baumannii infection. In this study, we constructed an A. baumannii nanovaccine Chitosan-PLGA-rOmp22 (CS-PLGA-rOmp22), and evaluated its immunogenicity and protective effects after intranasal immunization. BALB/c mice that received intranasal immunization with the CS-PLGA-rOmp22 nanovaccine displayed long-lasting local mucosal and systemic immunity, and could resist A. baumannii challenge. The CS-PLGA-rOmp22 penetrated the nasal mucosa and promoted the maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro. Moreover, the immunoprotective effect of intranasal vaccination was comparable to that of subcutaneous immunization. Our findings suggest that this nanovaccine is a potential candidate for preventing A. baumannii infection after mucosal administration.
期刊介绍:
ACS Infectious Diseases will be the first journal to highlight chemistry and its role in this multidisciplinary and collaborative research area. The journal will cover a diverse array of topics including, but not limited to:
* Discovery and development of new antimicrobial agents — identified through target- or phenotypic-based approaches as well as compounds that induce synergy with antimicrobials.
* Characterization and validation of drug target or pathways — use of single target and genome-wide knockdown and knockouts, biochemical studies, structural biology, new technologies to facilitate characterization and prioritization of potential drug targets.
* Mechanism of drug resistance — fundamental research that advances our understanding of resistance; strategies to prevent resistance.
* Mechanisms of action — use of genetic, metabolomic, and activity- and affinity-based protein profiling to elucidate the mechanism of action of clinical and experimental antimicrobial agents.
* Host-pathogen interactions — tools for studying host-pathogen interactions, cellular biochemistry of hosts and pathogens, and molecular interactions of pathogens with host microbiota.
* Small molecule vaccine adjuvants for infectious disease.
* Viral and bacterial biochemistry and molecular biology.
