Abstrakt: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) remains the only approved tuberculosis (TB) vaccine despite limited efficacy. Preclinical studies of next-generation TB vaccines typically use a murine aerosol model with a supraphysiologic challenge dose. Here, we show that the protective efficacy of a live attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) vaccine ΔLprG markedly exceeds that of BCG in a low-dose murine aerosol challenge model. BCG reduced bacterial loads but did not prevent establishment or dissemination of infection in this model. In contrast, ΔLprG prevented detectable infection in 61% of mice and resulted in anatomic containment of 100% breakthrough infections to a single lung. Protection was partially abrogated in a repeated low-dose challenge model, which showed serum IL-17A, IL-6, CXCL2, CCL2, IFN-γ, and CXCL1 as correlates of protection. These data demonstrate that ΔLprG provides increased protection compared to BCG, including reduced detectable infection and anatomic containment, in a low-dose murine challenge model.
