Abstrakt: | Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common cause of death in people living with HIV. BCG delivered intradermally (ID) is the only licensed vaccine to prevent TB. However, it offers little protection from pulmonary TB in adults. Intravenous (IV) BCG, but not ID BCG, confers striking protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and disease in rhesus macaques. We investigated whether IV BCG could protect against TB in macaques with a pre-existing SIV infection. There was a robust influx of airway T cells following IV BCG in both SIV-infected and SIV-naïve animals, with elevated antibody titers in plasma and airways. Following Mtb challenge, all 7 SIV-naïve and 9 out of 12 SIV-infected vaccinated animals were completely protected, without any culturable bacilli in their tissues. PBMC responses post-challenge indicated early clearance of Mtb in vaccinated animals regardless of SIV infection. These data support that IV BCG is immunogenic and efficacious in SIV-infected animals.
