New mRNA vaccines producing strong protection against drug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae bacteria

Updated

Abstract

Essence

Fusion-protein mRNA vaccines targeting PstS and YidR protected mice against multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae challenge.

Evidence

This preclinical vaccine study tested antigen expression in vitro and mouse protection against Klebsiella pneumoniae, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Shigella flexneri.

Caveat

Protection was shown in vitro and in mice, so human immunogenicity, dosing, durability, and safety remain untested.
