Author: Forrest, GN, Williams, E, Seib, KL, Fairley, CK, Pollock, GL, Hocking, JS, McCarthy, JS, Williamson, DA, Forrest, GN, Williams, E, Seib, KL, Fairley, CK, Pollock, GL, Hocking, JS, McCarthy, JS, and Williamson, DA
Abstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is an important public health issue, with an annual global incidence of 87 million. N. gonorrhoeae infection causes significant morbidity and can have serious long-term impacts on reproductive and neonatal health and may rarely cause life-threatening disease. Global rates of N. gonorrhoeae infection have increased over the past 20 years. Importantly, rates of antimicrobial resistance to key antimicrobials also continue to increase, with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifying drug-resistant N. gonorrhoeae as an urgent threat to public health. This review summarizes the current evidence for N. gonorrhoeae vaccines, including historical clinical trials, key N. gonorrhoeae vaccine preclinical studies, and studies of the impact of Neisseria meningitidis vaccines on N. gonorrhoeae infection. A comprehensive survey of potential vaccine antigens, including those identified through traditional vaccine immunogenicity approaches, as well as those identified using more contemporary reverse vaccinology approaches, are also described. Finally, the potential epidemiological impacts of a N. gonorrhoeae vaccine and research priorities for further vaccine development are described.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: A gonococcal vaccine is urgently needed due to increasing gonorrhea incidence and emerging multidrug-resistant gonococcal strains worldwide. Men who have sex with men (MSM) have among the highest incidences of gonorrhea and may be a key target population for vaccination when available. METHODS: An individual-based, anatomical site-specific mathematical model was used to simulate Neisseria gonorrhoeae transmission in a population of 10 000 MSM. The impact of vaccination on gonorrhea prevalence was assessed. RESULTS: With a gonococcal vaccine of 100% or 50% protective efficacy, gonorrhea prevalence could be reduced by 94% or 62%, respectively, within 2 years if 30% of MSM are vaccinated on presentation for sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. Elimination of gonorrhea is possible within 8 years with vaccines of ≥ 50% efficacy lasting 2 years, providing a booster vaccination is available every 3 years on average. A vaccine's impact may be reduced if it is not effective at all anatomical sites. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that with a vaccine of modest efficacy and an immunization strategy that targets MSM presenting for STI screening, the prevalence of gonorrhea in this population could be rapidly and substantially reduced.

3. Moraxella catarrhalisphase-variable loci show differences in expression during conditions relevant to disease

Author: Reid, S, Tan, A, Blakeway, LV, Taha, Yang, Y, Zhou, Y, Atack, JM, Peak, IR, Seib, KL, Reid, S, Tan, A, Blakeway, LV, Taha, Yang, Y, Zhou, Y, Atack, JM, Peak, IR, and Seib, KL
Abstract: Moraxella catarrhalis is a human-adapted, opportunistic bacterial pathogen of the respiratory mucosa. Although asymptomatic colonization of the nasopharynx is common, M. catarrhalis can ascend into the middle ear, where it is a prevalent causative agent of otitis media in children, or enter the lower respiratory tract, where it is associated with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults. Phase variation is the high frequency, random, reversible switching of gene expression that allows bacteria to adapt to different host microenvironments and evade host defences, and is most commonly mediated by simple DNA sequence repeats. Bioinformatic analysis of five closed M. catarrhalis genomes identified 17 unique simple DNA sequence repeat tracts that were variable between strains, indicating the potential to mediate phase variable expression of the associated genes. Assays designed to assess simple sequence repeat variation under conditions mimicking host infection demonstrated that phase variation of uspA1 (ubiquitous surface protein A1) from high to low expression occurs over 72 hours of biofilm passage, while phase variation of uspA2 (ubiquitous surface protein A2) to high expression variants occurs during repeated exposure to human serum, as measured by mRNA levels. We also identify and confirm the variable expression of two novel phase variable genes encoding a Type III DNA methyltransferase (modO), and a conserved hypothetical permease (MC25239_RS00020). These data reveal the repertoire of phase variable genes mediated by simple sequence repeats in M. catarrhalis and demonstrate that modulation of expression under conditions mimicking human infection is attributed to changes in simple sequence repeat length.

6. An Overview of Neisseria meningitidis

Author: Hollingshead, S, Tang, CM, Seib, KL, and Peak, IR
Abstract: Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is a member of the normal nasopharyngeal microbiome in healthy individuals, but can cause septicemia and meningitis in susceptible individuals. In this chapter we provide an overview of the disease caused by N. meningitidis and the schemes used to type the meningococcus. We also review the adhesions, virulence factors, and phase variable genes that enable it to successfully colonize the human host. Finally, we outline the history and current status of meningococcal vaccines and highlight the importance of continued molecular investigation of the epidemiology and the structural analysis of the antigens of this pathogen to aid future vaccine development.

7. Neisseria meningitidis: Methods and protocols

Author: Hollingshead, S, Tang, CM, Deghmane, A-E, Maiden, MCJ, Seib, KL, and Peak, IR
Abstract: This volume provides methods to analyze the meningococcus and its interactions with biologically relevant host cells and sites, to interrogate the population structure and biology of the meningococcus that defines its capacity to cause disease, and to aid in vaccine development and surveillance. Many of these methods are applicable to the close relative, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and several of the methods described can also be used in investigating host-pathogen interactions for a range of other organisms. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Neisseria meningitidis: Methods and Protocols will allow for the use of these methods by more laboratories and foster collaboration and consistency in investigations of this enigmatic and dangerous pathogen.

8. The Moraxella catarrhalis phase-variable DNA methyltransferase ModM3 is an epigenetic regulator that affects bacterial survival in an in vivo model of otitis media

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Moraxella catarrhalis is a leading cause of otitis media (OM) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). M. catarrhalis contains a Type III DNA adenine methyltransferase (ModM) that is phase-variably expressed (i.e., its expression is subject to random, reversible ON/OFF switching). ModM has six target recognition domain alleles (modM1-6), and we have previously shown that modM2 is the predominant allele, while modM3 is associated with OM. Phase-variable DNA methyltransferases mediate epigenetic regulation and modulate pathogenesis in several bacteria. ModM2 of M. catarrhalis regulates the expression of a phasevarion containing genes important for colonization and infection. Here we describe the phase-variable expression of modM3, the ModM3 methylation site and the suite of genes regulated within the ModM3 phasevarion. RESULTS: Phase-variable expression of modM3, mediated by variation in length of a 5'-(CAAC)n-3' tetranucleotide repeat tract in the open reading frame was demonstrated in M. catarrhalis strain CCRI-195ME with GeneScan fragment length analysis and western immunoblot. We determined that ModM3 is an active N6-adenine methyltransferase that methylates the sequence 5'-ACm6ATC-3'. Methylation was detected at all 4446 5'-ACATC-3' sites in the genome when ModM3 is expressed. RNASeq analysis identified 31 genes that are differentially expressed between modM3 ON and OFF variants, including five genes that are involved in the response to oxidative and nitrosative stress, with potential roles in biofilm formation and survival in anaerobic environments. An in vivo chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) model of otitis media demonstrated that transbullar challenge with the modM3 OFF variant resulted in an increased middle ear bacterial load compared to a modM3 ON variant. In addition, co-infection experiments with NTHi and M. catarrhalis modM3 ON or modM3 OFF variants revealed that phase variation of modM3 altered survival of NTHi in the middle ear dur

9. The Serogroup B Meningococcal Vaccine Bexsero Elicits Antibodies to Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Author: Semchenko, EA, Tan, A, Borrow, R, Seib, KL, Semchenko, EA, Tan, A, Borrow, R, and Seib, KL
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are closely-related bacteria that cause a significant global burden of disease. Control of gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly difficult, due to widespread antibiotic resistance. While vaccines are routinely used for N. meningitidis, no vaccine is available for N. gonorrhoeae. Recently, the outer membrane vesicle (OMV) meningococcal B vaccine, MeNZB, was reported to be associated with reduced rates of gonorrhoea following a mass vaccination campaign in New Zealand. To probe the basis for this protection, we assessed the cross-reactivity to N. gonorrhoeae of serum raised to the meningococcal vaccine Bexsero, which contains the MeNZB OMV component plus 3 recombinant antigens (Neisseria adhesin A, factor H binding protein [fHbp]-GNA2091, and Neisserial heparin binding antigen [NHBA]-GNA1030). METHODS: A bioinformatic analysis was performed to assess the similarity of MeNZB OMV and Bexsero antigens to gonococcal proteins. Rabbits were immunized with the OMV component or the 3 recombinant antigens of Bexsero, and Western blots and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to assess the generation of antibodies recognizing N. gonorrhoeae. Serum from humans immunized with Bexsero was investigated to assess the nature of the anti-gonococcal response. RESULTS: There is a high level of sequence identity between MeNZB OMV and Bexsero OMV antigens, and between the antigens and gonococcal proteins. NHBA is the only Bexsero recombinant antigen that is conserved and surfaced exposed in N. gonorrhoeae. Bexsero induces antibodies in humans that recognize gonococcal proteins. CONCLUSIONS: The anti-gonococcal antibodies induced by MeNZB-like OMV proteins could explain the previously-seen decrease in gonorrhoea following MeNZB vaccination. The high level of human anti-gonococcal NHBA antibodies generated by Bexsero vaccination may provide additional cross-protection against gonorrhoea.

Abstract: Moraxella catarrhalis is a human-adapted pathogen, and a major cause of otitis media (OM) and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The species is comprised of two main phylogenetic lineages, RB1 and RB2/3. Restriction-modification (R-M) systems are among the few lineage-associated genes identified in other bacterial genera and have multiple functions including defense against foreign invading DNA, maintenance of speciation, and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Here, we define the repertoire of R-M systems in 51 publicly available M. catarrhalis genomes and report their distribution among M. catarrhalis phylogenetic lineages. An association with phylogenetic lineage (RB1 or RB2/3) was observed for six R-M systems, which may contribute to the evolution of the lineages by restricting DNA transformation. In addition, we observed a relationship between a mutually exclusive Type I R-M system and a Type III R-M system at a single locus conserved throughout a geographically and clinically diverse set of M. catarrhalis isolates. The Type III R-M system at this locus contains the phase-variable Type III DNA methyltransferase, modM, which controls a phasevarion (phase-variable regulon). We observed an association between modM presence and OM-associated middle ear isolates, indicating a potential role for ModM-mediated epigenetic regulation in OM pathobiology.

13. The Capricious Nature of Bacterial Pathogens: Phasevarions and vaccine Development

Author: Tan, A, Atack, JM, Jennings, MP, Seib, KL, Tan, A, Atack, JM, Jennings, MP, and Seib, KL
Abstract: Infectious diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and vaccines are one of the most successful and cost-effective tools for disease prevention. One of the key considerations for rational vaccine development is the selection of appropriate antigens. Antigens must induce a protective immune response, and this response should be directed to stably expressed antigens so the target microbe can always be recognized by the immune system. Antigens with variable expression, due to environmental signals or phase variation (i.e., high frequency, random switching of expression), are not ideal vaccine candidates because variable expression could lead to immune evasion. Phase variation is often mediated by the presence of highly mutagenic simple tandem DNA repeats, and genes containing such sequences can be easily identified, and their use as vaccine antigens reconsidered. Recent research has identified phase variably expressed DNA methyltransferases that act as global epigenetic regulators. These phase-variable regulons, known as phasevarions, are associated with altered virulence phenotypes and/or expression of vaccine candidates. As such, genes encoding candidate vaccine antigens that have no obvious mechanism of phase variation may be subject to indirect, epigenetic control as part of a phasevarion. Bioinformatic and experimental studies are required to elucidate the distribution and mechanism of action of these DNA methyltransferases, and most importantly, whether they mediate epigenetic regulation of potential and current vaccine candidates. This process is essential to define the stably expressed antigen target profile of bacterial pathogens and thereby facilitate efficient, rational selection of vaccine antigens.

14. Distribution of the type III DNA methyltransferases modA, modB and modD among Neisseria meningitidis genotypes: implications for gene regulation and virulence

Abstract: Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific bacterium that varies in invasive potential. All meningococci are carried in the nasopharynx, and most genotypes are very infrequently associated with invasive meningococcal disease; however, those belonging to the 'hyperinvasive lineages' are more frequently associated with sepsis or meningitis. Genome content is highly conserved between carriage and disease isolates, and differential gene expression has been proposed as a major determinant of the hyperinvasive phenotype. Three phase variable DNA methyltransferases (ModA, ModB and ModD), which mediate epigenetic regulation of distinct phase variable regulons (phasevarions), have been identified in N. meningitidis. Each mod gene has distinct alleles, defined by their Mod DNA recognition domain, and these target and methylate different DNA sequences, thereby regulating distinct gene sets. Here 211 meningococcal carriage and >1,400 disease isolates were surveyed for the distribution of meningococcal mod alleles. While modA11-12 and modB1-2 were found in most isolates, rarer alleles (e.g., modA15, modB4, modD1-6) were specific to particular genotypes as defined by clonal complex. This suggests that phase variable Mod proteins may be associated with distinct phenotypes and hence invasive potential of N. meningitidis strains.

Abstract: © 2015 The Authors.Gonorrhea, one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide, can lead to serious sequelae, including infertility and increased HIV transmission. Recently, untreatable, multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains have been reported. In the absence of new antibiotics, and given the speed with which resistance has emerged to all previously used antibiotics, development of a vaccine would be the ideal solution to this public health emergency. Understanding the desired characteristics, target population, and expected impact of an anti-gonococcal vaccine is essential to facilitate vaccine design, assessment and implementation. The modeling presented herein aims to fill these conceptual gaps, and inform future gonococcal vaccine development. Using an individual-based, epidemiological simulation model, gonococcal prevalence was simulated in a heterosexual population of 100,000 individuals after the introduction of vaccines with varied efficacy (10-100%) and duration of protection (2.5-20 years). Model simulations predict that gonococcal prevalence could be reduced by at least 90% after 20 years, if all 13-year-olds were given a non-waning vaccine with 50% efficacy, or a vaccine with 100% efficacy that wanes after 7.5 years. A 40% reduction in prevalence is achievable with a non-waning vaccine of only 20% efficacy. We conclude that a vaccine of moderate efficacy and duration could have a substantive impact on gonococcal prevalence, and disease sequelae, if coverage is high and protection lasts over the highest risk period (. i.e., most sexual partner change) among young people.

Abstract: Phase variation (random ON/OFF switching) of gene expression is a common feature of host-adapted pathogenic bacteria. Phase variably expressed N(6)-adenine DNA methyltransferases (Mod) alter global methylation patterns resulting in changes in gene expression. These systems constitute phase variable regulons called phasevarions. Neisseria meningitidis phasevarions regulate genes including virulence factors and vaccine candidates, and alter phenotypes including antibiotic resistance. The target site recognized by these Type III N(6)-adenine DNA methyltransferases is not known. Single molecule, real-time (SMRT) methylome analysis was used to identify the recognition site for three key N. meningitidis methyltransferases: ModA11 (exemplified by M.NmeMC58I) (5'-CGY M6A: G-3'), ModA12 (exemplified by M.Nme77I, M.Nme18I and M.Nme579II) (5'-AC M6A: CC-3') and ModD1 (exemplified by M.Nme579I) (5'-CC M6A: GC-3'). Restriction inhibition assays and mutagenesis confirmed the SMRT methylome analysis. The ModA11 site is complex and atypical and is dependent on the type of pyrimidine at the central position, in combination with the bases flanking the core recognition sequence 5'-CGY M6A: G-3'. The observed efficiency of methylation in the modA11 strain (MC58) genome ranged from 4.6% at 5'-GCGC M6A: GG-3' sites, to 100% at 5'-ACGT M6A: GG-3' sites. Analysis of the distribution of modified sites in the respective genomes shows many cases of association with intergenic regions of genes with altered expression due to phasevarion switching.

Abstract: Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens contain DNA methyltransferases (mod genes) that are subject to phase-variable expression (high-frequency reversible ON/OFF switching of gene expression). In Haemophilus influenzae, the random switching of the modA gene controls expression of a phase-variable regulon of genes (a "phasevarion"), via differential methylation of the genome in the modA ON and OFF states. Phase-variable mod genes are also present in Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, suggesting that phasevarions may occur in these important human pathogens. Phylogenetic studies on phase-variable mod genes associated with type III restriction modification (R-M) systems revealed that these organisms have two distinct mod genes--modA and modB. There are also distinct alleles of modA (abundant: modA11, 12, 13; minor: modA4, 15, 18) and modB (modB1, 2). These alleles differ only in their DNA recognition domain. ModA11 was only found in N. meningitidis and modA13 only in N. gonorrhoeae. The recognition site for the modA13 methyltransferase in N. gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 was identified as 5'-AGAAA-3'. Mutant strains lacking the modA11, 12 or 13 genes were made in N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae and their phenotype analyzed in comparison to a corresponding mod ON wild-type strain. Microarray analysis revealed that in all three modA alleles multiple genes were either upregulated or downregulated, some of which were virulence-associated. For example, in N. meningitidis MC58 (modA11), differentially expressed genes included those encoding the candidate vaccine antigens lactoferrin binding proteins A and B. Functional studies using N. gonorrhoeae FA1090 and the clinical isolate O1G1370 confirmed that modA13 ON and OFF strains have distinct phenotypes in antimicrobial resistance, in a primary human cervical epithelial cell model of infection, and in biofilm formation. This study, in conjunction with our previous work in H. influenzae, indicates that phasevarions

Abstract: It can be argued that the arrival of the "genomics era" has significantly shifted the paradigm of vaccine and therapeutics development from microbiological to sequence-based approaches. Genome sequences provide a previously unattainable route to investigate the mechanisms that underpin pathogenesis. Genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, structural genomics, proteomics, and immunomics are being exploited to perfect the identification of targets, to design new vaccines and drugs, and to predict their effects in patients. Furthermore, human genomics and related studies are providing insights into aspects of host biology that are important in infectious disease. This ever-growing body of genomic data and new genome-based approaches will play a critical role in the future to enable timely development of vaccines and therapeutics to control emerging infectious diseases.

Abstract: Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-11T01:57:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-10-29 Griffith University Gowonda HPC Cluster Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.

21. The RNA Chaperone Hfq Is Involved in Stress Response and Virulence in Neisseria meningitidis and Is a Pleiotropic Regulator of Protein Expression

Abstract: The well-conserved protein Hfq has emerged as the key modulator of riboregulation in bacteria. This protein is thought to function as an RNA chaperone and to facilitate base pairing between small regulatory RNA (sRNA) and mRNA targets, and many sRNAs are dependent on the Hfq protein for their regulatory functions. To address the possible role of Hfq in riboregulated circuits in Neisseria meningitidis , we generated an Hfq mutant of the MC58 strain, and the knockout mutant has pleiotropic phenotypes; it has a general growth phenotype in vitro in culture media, and it is sensitive to a wide range of stresses, including those that it may encounter in the host. Furthermore, the expression profile of a vast number of proteins is clearly altered in the mutant, and we have identified 27 proteins by proteomics. All of the phenotypes tested to date are also restored by complementation of Hfq expression in the mutant strain. Importantly, in ex vivo and in vivo models of infection the Hfq mutant is attenuated. These data indicate that Hfq plays a key role in stress response and virulence, and we propose a major role for Hfq in regulation of gene expression. Moreover, this study suggests that in meningococcus there is a large Hfq-mediated sRNA network which so far is largely unexplored.

Abstract: While ceftriaxone remains the first-line treatment for gonorrhea, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended cefixime as a second-line treatment in 2021. We tested 1176 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates among clients attending the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre in 2021 and 2022. The prevalence of cefixime resistance was 6.3% (74/1176), azithromycin resistance was 4.9% (58/1176), and ceftriaxone resistance was 0% (0/1176). Cefixime resistance was highest among women (16.4%, 10/61), followed by men who have sex with women (6.4%, 7/109) and men who have sex with men (5.8%, 57/982). The prevalence of cefixime-resistant N gonorrhoeae exceeds the threshold of the 5% resistance level recommended by the World Health Organization; thus, cefixime treatment would have limited benefits in Australia., Competing Interests: Potential conflicts of interest.

23. Refinement and optimisation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae NHBA and MetQ vaccine candidates.

Author: Taha, Eskandari S, Slesarenko VA, Haselhorst T, Semchenko EA, and Seib KL
Abstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae has a significant impact on reproductive health with an estimated 82 million new cases of infection per year worldwide. Due to the ongoing emergence of multidrug-resistant N. gonorrhoeae strains, the high number of asymptomatic cases, and the risk of disease sequelae, the development of a gonococcal vaccine is urgently needed. We have previously described two potential gonococcal vaccine antigens, cNHBA (C-terminal fragment of the Neisseria Heparin Binding Antigen) and MetQ (methionine-binding protein). This study aimed to optimise these antigens for improved immune responses and to facilitate vaccine production, by investigating cNHBA fusions with the full-length MetQ protein or N-terminal and C-terminal MetQ fragments (Met1 and Met2, respectively) adjuvanted with aluminium hydroxide. The cNHBA and MetQ fragments and fusion antigens were all immunogenic in mice, generating a predominantly IgG1 response. Antibodies mediated bacterial killing via both serum bactericidal activity (SBA) and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA), and reduced adherence to cervical and urethral epithelial cells. Among the antigen fusions tested, MetQ-cNHBA and cNHBA-Met2 generated the highest SBA, OPA and adherence blocking titres and are proposed as promising optimised antigens for N. gonorrhoeae vaccine development., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: KL Seib reports financial support was provided by National Health and Medical Research Council.

Abstract: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are widespread worldwide and negatively affect sexual and reproductive health. Gaps in evidence and in available tools have long hindered STI programmes and policies, particularly in resource-limited settings. In 2022, WHO initiated a research prioritisation process to identify the most important STI research areas to address the global public health need. Using an adapted Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative methodology including two global stakeholder surveys, the process identified 40 priority STI research needs. The top priorities centred on developing and implementing affordable, feasible, rapid point-of-care STI diagnostic tests and new treatments, especially for gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and syphilis; designing new multipurpose prevention technologies and vaccines for STIs; and collecting improved STI epidemiologic data on both infection and disease outcomes. The priorities also included innovative programmatic approaches, such as new STI communication and partner management strategies. An additional six research areas related to mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) reflect the need for STI-related research during disease outbreaks where sexual transmission can have a key role. These STI research priorities provide a call to action for focus, investment, and innovation to address existing roadblocks in STI prevention, control, and management to advance sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing for all., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests SLG received support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation paid to WHO for work on therapeutic human papillomavirus vaccines and on COVID-19 vaccines and pregnancy, and the Gates Foundation travel support to meetings on maternal immunisation and women's health innovations.

Abstract: An effective prophylactic vaccine for prevention of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection would have a major impact on sexual and reproductive health worldwide. Interest in developing gonorrhoea vaccines is growing due to the reported high rates of N. gonorrhoeae infections globally, and the threat of antimicrobial resistance. Several gonorrhoea vaccine candidates are currently under evaluation and various mathematical models have been used to assess the potential population-level impact a gonorrhoea vaccine may have once available. Here we review key aspects of gonorrhoea vaccine mathematical modelling studies, including model structures, populations considered, and assumptions used as well as vaccine characteristics and implementation scenarios investigated. The predicted vaccine impact varied between studies, ranging from as little as ∼17 % reduction in N. gonorrhoeae prevalence after 30 years up to 100 % reduction after 5 years. However, all studies predicted that even a partially effective gonorrhoea vaccine could have a substantial impact in reducing N. gonorrhoeae prevalence or incidence, particularly when high coverage is achieved within either important risk groups or the overall sexually active population. As expected, higher vaccine efficacy against acquisition of N. gonorrhoeae and longer duration of protection were linked to greater reductions in infections. A vaccine that alters onward transmission could also substantially reduce infections. Several gaps and research needs have been identified by researchers in the field and via this narrative literature review. For example, future modelling to inform gonorrhoea vaccine development and implementation should consider additional populations that are at high risk of N. gonorrhoeae infection, especially in low- and middle-income settings, as well as the impact of vaccination on the potential adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes of infection. In addition, more detailed and robust epidemiological, biological, and behavioural data is needed to enable more accurate and robust modelling of gonorrhoea vaccine impact to inform future scientific and public health decision-making., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Thilini Padeniya reports financial support was provided by National Institutes of Health.

26. Vaccine value profile for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Abstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection (gonorrhoea) is a global public health challenge, causing substantial sexual and reproductive health consequences, such as infertility, pregnancy complications and increased acquisition or transmission of HIV. There is an urgency to controlling gonorrhoea because of increasing antimicrobial resistance to ceftriaxone, the last remaining treatment option, and the potential for gonorrhoea to become untreatable. No licensed gonococcal vaccine is available. Mounting observational evidence suggests that N. meningitidis serogroup B outer membrane vesicle-based vaccines may induce cross-protection against N. gonorrhoeae (estimated 30%-40% effectiveness using the 4CMenB vaccine). Clinical trials to determine the efficacy of the 4CMenB vaccine against N. gonorrhoeae are underway, as are Phase 1/2 studies of a new gonococcal-specific vaccine candidate. Ultimately, a gonococcal vaccine must be accessible, affordable and equitably dispensed, given that those most affected by gonorrhoea are also those who may be most disadvantaged in our societies, and most cases are in less-resourced settings. This vaccine value profile (VVP) provides a high level, holistic assessment of the current data to inform the potential public health, economic and societal value of pipeline vaccines. This was developed by a working group of subject matter experts from academia, non-profit organizations, public private partnerships and multi-lateral organizations. All contributors have extensive expertise on various elements of the N. gonorrhoeae VVP and collectively aimed to identify current research and knowledge gaps. The VVP was developed using published data obtained from peer-reviewed journals or reports., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: JJO reports financial support from the World Health Organization and Australian National Health and Medical Research Foundation.

Abstract: Introduction: Gonorrhoea, the sexually transmissible infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae , has a substantial impact on sexual and reproductive health globally with an estimated 82 million new infections each year worldwide. N. gonorrhoeae antimicrobial resistance continues to escalate, and disease control is largely reliant on effective therapy as there is no proven effective gonococcal vaccine available. However, there is increasing evidence from observational cohort studies that the serogroup B meningococcal vaccine four-component meningitis B vaccine (4CMenB) (Bexsero), licensed to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis , may provide cross-protection against the closely related bacterium N. gonorrhoeae . This study will evaluate the efficacy of 4CMenB against N. gonorrhoeae infection in men (cis and trans), transwomen and non-binary people who have sex with men (hereafter referred to as GBM+)., Methods and Analysis: This is a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial in GBM+, either HIV-negative on pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV or living with HIV (CD4 count >350 cells/mm 3 ), who have had a diagnosis of gonorrhoea or infectious syphilis in the last 18 months (a key characteristic associated with a high risk of N. gonorrhoeae infection). Participants are randomised 1:1 to receive two doses of 4CMenB or placebo 3 months apart. Participants have 3-monthly visits over 24 months, which include testing for N. gonorrhoeae and other sexually transmissible infections, collection of demographics, sexual behaviour risks and antibiotic use, and collection of research samples for analysis of N. gonorrhoeae -specific systemic and mucosal immune responses. The primary outcome is the incidence of the first episode of N. gonorrhoeae infection, as determined by nucleic acid amplification tests, post month 4. Additional outcomes consider the incidence of symptomatic or asymptomatic N. gonorrhoeae infection at different anatomical sites (ie, urogenital, anorectum or oropharynx), incidence by N. gonorrhoeae genotype and antimicrobial resistance phenotype, and level and functional activity of N. gonorrhoeae -specific antibodies., Ethics and Dissemination: Ethical approval was obtained from the St Vincent's Hospital Human Research Ethics Committee, St Vincent's Hospital Sydney, NSW, Australia (ref: 2020/ETH01084). Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and via presentation at national and international conferences., Trial Registration Number: NCT04415424., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

Abstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is an important public health issue, with an annual global incidence of 87 million. N. gonorrhoeae infection causes significant morbidity and can have serious long-term impacts on reproductive and neonatal health and may rarely cause life-threatening disease. Global rates of N. gonorrhoeae infection have increased over the past 20 years. Importantly, rates of antimicrobial resistance to key antimicrobials also continue to increase, with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifying drug-resistant N. gonorrhoeae as an urgent threat to public health. This review summarizes the current evidence for N. gonorrhoeae vaccines, including historical clinical trials, key N. gonorrhoeae vaccine preclinical studies, and studies of the impact of Neisseria meningitidis vaccines on N. gonorrhoeae infection. A comprehensive survey of potential vaccine antigens, including those identified through traditional vaccine immunogenicity approaches, as well as those identified using more contemporary reverse vaccinology approaches, are also described. Finally, the potential epidemiological impacts of a N. gonorrhoeae vaccine and research priorities for further vaccine development are described., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Abstract: Background: Treatment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is under threat with the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. Thus, there is a growing interest in the development of a gonorrhoea vaccine. We used mathematical modelling to assess the impact of a hypothetical vaccine in controlling gonorrhoea among heterosexuals living in a setting of relatively high N. gonorrhoeae prevalence (∼3 %)., Methods: We developed a mathematical model of N. gonorrhoeae transmission among 15-49-year-old heterosexuals, stratified by age and sex, and calibrated to prevalence and sexual behaviour data from South Africa as an example of a high prevalence setting for which we have data available. Using this model, we assessed the potential impact of a vaccine on N. gonorrhoeae prevalence in the entire population. We considered gonorrhoea vaccines having differing impacts on N. gonorrhoeae infection and transmission and offered to different age-groups., Results: The model predicts that N. gonorrhoeae prevalence can be reduced by ∼50 % in 10 years following introduction of a vaccine if annual vaccination uptake is 10 %, vaccine efficacy against acquisition of infection is 25 % and duration of protection is 5 years, with vaccination available to the entire population of 15-49-year-olds. If only 15-24-year-olds are vaccinated, the predicted reduction in prevalence in the entire population is 25 % with equivalent vaccine characteristics and uptake. Although predicted reductions in prevalence for vaccination programmes targeting only high-activity individuals and the entire population are similar over the same period, vaccinating only high-activity individuals is more efficient as the cumulative number of vaccinations needed to reduce prevalence in the entire population by 50 % is ∼3 times lower for this programme., Conclusion: Provision of a gonorrhoea vaccine could lead to substantial reductions in N. gonorrhoeae prevalence in a high prevalence heterosexual setting, even with moderate annual vaccination uptake of a vaccine with partial efficacy., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023.

Abstract: Background: Gonorrhoea is an ongoing public health concern due to its rising incidence and the emergence of antibiotic resistance. There are an estimated 82 million new Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections each year, with several populations at higher risk for gonococcal infection, including gay and bisexual men (GBM). If left untreated, infection can lead to serious morbidity including infertility, sepsis and increased risk of HIV acquisition. Development of a gonorrhoea vaccine has been challenging, however there is observational evidence that serogroup B meningococcal vaccines, used to protect against the closely related bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, could provide cross-protection against N. gonorrhoeae., Methods: The MenGO (Meningococcal vaccine efficacy against Gonorrhoea) study is a phase III open-label randomised control trial in GBM to evaluate the efficacy of the four-component meningococcal serogroup B vaccine, 4CMenB, against gonorrhoea. A total of 130 GBM will be recruited at the Gold Coast Sexual Health Clinic, Australia, and randomised to either receive 2 doses of 4CMenB or no intervention. Participants will be followed up for 24 months with testing for N. gonorrhoeae and other sexually transmissible infections every three months. Demographics, sexual behaviour risk, antibiotic use, and blood samples for analysis of N. gonorrhoeae-specific immune responses, will be collected during the study. The primary outcome is the number of N. gonorrhoeae infections in participants over 2 years measured by nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). Secondary outcomes are vaccine-induced N. gonorrhoeae-specific immune responses, and adverse events in trial participants., Discussion: This trial will determine if the 4CMenB vaccine is able to reduce N. gonorrhoeae infection. If shown to be effective, 4CMenB could be used in gonococcal prevention. Analysis of 4CMenB-induced immune responses will increase understanding of the type of immune response needed to prevent N. gonorrhoeae, which may enable identification of a potential correlate of protection to aid future gonorrhoea vaccine development., Trial Registration: The trial has been registered on the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12619001478101) on 25 October 2019., (© 2023.

Abstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are human-specific pathogens in the Neisseriaceae family that can cause devastating diseases. Although both species inhabit mucosal surfaces, they cause dramatically different diseases. Despite this, they have evolved similar mechanisms to survive and thrive in a metal-restricted host. The human host restricts, or overloads, the bacterial metal nutrient supply within host cell niches to limit pathogenesis and disease progression. Thus, the pathogenic Neisseria require appropriate metal homeostasis mechanisms to acclimate to such a hostile and ever-changing host environment. This review discusses the mechanisms by which the host allocates and alters zinc, manganese, and copper levels and the ability of the pathogenic Neisseria to sense and respond to such alterations. This review will also discuss integrated metal homeostasis in N. gonorrhoeae and the significance of investigating metal interplay., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Branch, Stoudenmire, Seib and Cornelissen.)

Abstract: Background: A gonococcal vaccine is urgently needed due to increasing gonorrhea incidence and emerging multidrug-resistant gonococcal strains worldwide. Men who have sex with men (MSM) have among the highest incidences of gonorrhea and may be a key target population for vaccination when available., Methods: An individual-based, anatomical site-specific mathematical model was used to simulate Neisseria gonorrhoeae transmission in a population of 10 000 MSM. The impact of vaccination on gonorrhea prevalence was assessed., Results: With a gonococcal vaccine of 100% or 50% protective efficacy, gonorrhea prevalence could be reduced by 94% or 62%, respectively, within 2 years if 30% of MSM are vaccinated on presentation for sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. Elimination of gonorrhea is possible within 8 years with vaccines of ≥ 50% efficacy lasting 2 years, providing a booster vaccination is available every 3 years on average. A vaccine's impact may be reduced if it is not effective at all anatomical sites., Conclusions: Our study indicates that with a vaccine of modest efficacy and an immunization strategy that targets MSM presenting for STI screening, the prevalence of gonorrhea in this population could be rapidly and substantially reduced., (© The Author(s) 2021.

Abstract: Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an increasing public health threat due to its rapidly rising incidence and antibiotic resistance. There are an estimated 106 million cases per year worldwide, there is no vaccine available to prevent infection, and N. gonorrhoeae strains that are resistant to all antibiotics routinely used to treat the infection have emerged. In many strains, antibiotic resistance is mediated by overexpression of the MtrCDE efflux pump, which enables the bacteria to transport toxic antibiotics out of the cell. Genetic mutations that inactivate MtrCDE have previously been shown to render resistant strains susceptible to certain antibiotics. Here, we show that peptides rationally designed to target and disrupt the activity of each of the three protein components of MtrCDE were able to increase the susceptibility of N. gonorrhoeae strains to antibiotics in a dose-dependent manner and with no toxicity to human cells. Cotreatment of bacteria with subinhibitory concentrations of the peptide led to 2- to 64-fold increases in susceptibility to erythromycin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and/or ceftriaxone in N. gonorrhoeae strains FA1090, WHO K, WHO P, and WHO X. The cotreatment experiments with peptides P-MtrC1 and P-MtrE1 resulted in increased susceptibilities of WHO P and WHO X to azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and ceftriaxone that were of the same magnitude seen in MtrCDE mutants. P-MtrE1 was able to change the azithromycin resistance profile of WHO P from resistant to susceptible. Data presented here demonstrate that these peptides may be developed for use as a dual treatment with existing antibiotics to treat multidrug-resistant gonococcal infections.

Abstract: There is no vaccine available to prevent Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, however there is currently a high level of interest in developing gonococcal vaccines due to the increasing number of cases and continuing emergence of antimicrobial resistance worldwide. A key aspect of vaccine development is the investigation of the functional immune response raised to the vaccine targets under investigation. Here, we describe two assays used to assess the functional immune response raised against gonococcal vaccine targets: the serum bactericidal assay (SBA) and the opsonophagocytic assay (OPA)., (© 2022.

Author: Ruiz García Y, Sohn WY, Seib KL, Taha MK, Vázquez JA, de Lemos APS, Vadivelu K, Pizza M, Rappuoli R, and Bekkat-Berkani R
Abstract: Infections with Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae have different clinical manifestations, but the bacteria share up to 80-90% genome sequence identity. The recombinant meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccine 4CMenB consists of four antigenic components that can be present in non-B meningococcal and gonococcal strains. This comprehensive review summarizes scientific evidence on the genotypic and phenotypic similarities between vaccine antigens and their homologs expressed by non-B meningococcal and gonococcal strains. It also includes immune responses of 4CMenB-vaccinated individuals and effectiveness and impact of 4CMenB against these strains. Varying degrees of strain coverage were estimated depending on the non-B meningococcal serogroup and antigenic repertoire. 4CMenB elicits immune responses against non-B meningococcal serogroups and N. gonorrhoeae. Real-world evidence showed risk reductions of 69% for meningococcal serogroup W clonal complex 11 disease and 40% for gonorrhea after 4CMenB immunization. In conclusion, functional antibody activity and real-world evidence indicate that 4CMenB has the potential to provide some protection beyond MenB disease., (© 2021. The Author(s).)

Abstract: The lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae plays key roles in pathogenesis and is composed of multiple possible glycoforms. These glycoforms are generated by the process of phase variation and by differences in the glycosyltransferase gene content of particular strains. LOS glycoforms of N. gonorrhoeae can be terminated with an N -acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), which imparts resistance to the bactericidal activity of serum. However, N. gonorrhoeae cannot synthesize the CMP-Neu5Ac required for LOS biosynthesis and must acquire it from the host. In contrast, Neisseria meningitidis can synthesize endogenous CMP-Neu5Ac, the donor molecule for Neu5Ac, which is a component of some meningococcal capsule structures. Both species have an almost identical LOS sialyltransferase, Lst, that transfers Neu5Ac from CMP-Neu5Ac to the terminus of LOS. Lst is homologous to the LsgB sialyltransferase of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi). Studies in NTHi have demonstrated that LsgB can transfer keto-deoxyoctanoate (KDO) from CMP-KDO to the terminus of LOS in place of Neu5Ac. Here, we show that Lst can also transfer KDO to LOS in place of Neu5Ac in both N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis Consistent with access to the pool of CMP-KDO in the cytoplasm, we present data indicating that Lst is localized in the cytoplasm. Lst has previously been reported to be localized on the outer membrane. We also demonstrate that KDO is expressed as a terminal LOS structure in vivo in samples from infected women and further show that the anti-KDO monoclonal antibody 6E4 can mediate opsonophagocytic killing of N. gonorrhoeae Taken together, these studies indicate that KDO expressed on gonococcal LOS represents a new antigen for the development of vaccines against gonorrhea. IMPORTANCE The emergence of multidrug-resistant N. gonorrhoeae strains that are resistant to available antimicrobials is a current health emergency, and no vaccine is available to prevent gonococcal infection. Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is one of the major virulence factors of N. gonorrhoeae The sialic acid N -acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is present as the terminal glycan on LOS in N. gonorrhoeae In this study, we made an unexpected discovery that KDO can be incorporated as the terminal glycan on LOS of N. gonorrhoeae by the alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase Lst. We showed that N. gonorrhoeae express KDO on LOS in vivo and that the KDO-specific monoclonal antibody 6E4 can direct opsonophagocytic killing of N. gonorrhoeae These data support further development of KDO-LOS structures as vaccine antigens for the prevention of infection by N. gonorrhoeae ., (Copyright © 2021 Jen et al.)

38. Random Switching of the ModA11 Type III DNA Methyltransferase of Neisseria meningitidis Regulates Entner-Doudoroff Aldolase Expression by a Methylation Change in the eda Promoter Region.

Abstract: Phase-variable DNA methyltransferases (Mods) mediate epigenetic regulation of gene expression. These phase-variable regulons, called phasevarions, have been shown to regulate virulence and immunoevasion in multiple bacterial pathogens. How genome methylation switching mediates gene regulation is unresolved. Neisseria meningitidis remains a major cause of sepsis and meningitis worldwide. Previously, we reported that phase variation (rapid on/off switching) of the meningococcal ModA11 methyltransferase regulates 285 genes. Here we show a bioinformatic analysis that reveals only 26 of the regulated genes have a methylation site located upstream of the gene with potential for direct effect of methylation on transcription. To investigate how methylation changes are "read" to alter gene expression, we used a lacZ gene fusion approach. We showed a 182-nucleotide region upstream of the eda gene (Entner-Doudoroff aldolase) is sufficient to impart methylation-dependent regulation of eda. Site-directed mutagenesis of the 5'-ACGT m6 AGG-3' ModA11 site upstream of the eda gene showed that methylation of this site modulates eda expression. We show that eda is regulated by the PhoB homolog MisR, and that a MisR binding motif overlaps with the ModA11 methylation site. In a MisR mutant, regulation of eda is uncoupled from regulation by ModA11 phasevarion switching. The on/off switching of ModA11 leads to the presence or absence of a N6-methyladenine modification at thousands of sites in the genome. Most of these modifications have no impact on gene regulation. Moreover, the majority of the 285 gene regulon that is controlled by ModA11 phasevarion switching (259/285) are not directly controlled by methylation changes in the promoter region of the regulated genes. Our data are consistent with direct control via methylation of a subset of the regulon, like Eda, whose regulation will trigger secondary effects in expression of many genes., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: Human-adapted bacterial pathogens use a mechanism called phase variation to randomly switch the expression of individual genes to generate a phenotypically diverse population to adapt to challenges within and between human hosts. There are increasing reports of restriction-modification systems that exhibit phase-variable expression. The outcome of phase variation of these systems is global changes in DNA methylation. Analysis of phase-variable Type I and Type III restriction-modification systems in multiple human-adapted bacterial pathogens has demonstrated that global changes in methylation regulate the expression of multiple genes. These systems are called phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). Phasevarion switching alters virulence phenotypes and facilitates evasion of host immune responses. This review describes the characteristics of phasevarions and implications for pathogenesis and immune evasion. We present and discuss examples of phasevarion systems in the major human pathogens Haemophilus influenzae , Neisseria meningitidis , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , Helicobacter pylori , Moraxella catarrhalis , and Streptococcus pneumoniae .

Abstract: Moraxella catarrhalis is a human-adapted, opportunistic bacterial pathogen of the respiratory mucosa. Although asymptomatic colonization of the nasopharynx is common, M. catarrhalis can ascend into the middle ear, where it is a prevalent causative agent of otitis media in children, or enter the lower respiratory tract, where it is associated with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults. Phase variation is the high frequency, random, reversible switching of gene expression that allows bacteria to adapt to different host microenvironments and evade host defences, and is most commonly mediated by simple DNA sequence repeats. Bioinformatic analysis of five closed M. catarrhalis genomes identified 17 unique simple DNA sequence repeat tracts that were variable between strains, indicating the potential to mediate phase variable expression of the associated genes. Assays designed to assess simple sequence repeat variation under conditions mimicking host infection demonstrated that phase variation of uspA1 (ubiquitous surface protein A1) from high to low expression occurs over 72 hours of biofilm passage, while phase variation of uspA2 (ubiquitous surface protein A2) to high expression variants occurs during repeated exposure to human serum, as measured by mRNA levels. We also identify and confirm the variable expression of two novel phase variable genes encoding a Type III DNA methyltransferase (modO), and a conserved hypothetical permease (MC25239_RS00020). These data reveal the repertoire of phase variable genes mediated by simple sequence repeats in M. catarrhalis and demonstrate that modulation of expression under conditions mimicking human infection is attributed to changes in simple sequence repeat length., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Abstract: Renewed interest in developing vaccines against Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been sparked by the increasing threat of gonococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and growing optimism that gonococcal vaccines are biologically feasible. Evidence suggests serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis vaccines might provide some cross-protection against N. gonorrhoeae, and new gonococcal vaccine candidates based on several approaches are currently in preclinical development. To further stimulate investment and accelerate development of gonococcal vaccines, greater understanding is needed regarding the overall value that gonococcal vaccines might have in addressing public health and societal goals in low-, middle-, and high-income country contexts and how future gonococcal vaccines might be accepted and used, if available. In January 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) convened a multidisciplinary international group of experts to lay the groundwork for understanding the potential health, economic, and societal value of gonococcal vaccines and their likely acceptance and use, and for developing gonococcal vaccine preferred product characteristics (PPCs). WHO PPCs describe preferences for vaccine attributes that would help optimize vaccine value and use in meeting the global public health need. This paper describes the main discussion points and conclusions from the January 2019 meeting of experts. Participants emphasized the need for vaccines to control N. gonorrhoeae infections with the ultimate goals of preventing adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes (e.g., infertility) and reducing the impact of gonococcal AMR. Meeting participants also discussed important PPC considerations (e.g., vaccine indications, target populations, and potential immunization strategies) and highlighted crucial research and data needs for guiding the value assessment and PPCs for gonococcal vaccines and advancing gonococcal vaccine development., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest Drs Gottlieb, Ndowa, Hook, Deal, Bachmann, Abu-Raddad, Chen, Low, MacLennan, Petousis-Harris, Unemo, Vincent, and Giersing report no conflicts of interest.

42. The Neisseria gonorrhoeae Vaccine Candidate NHBA Elicits Antibodies That Are Bactericidal, Opsonophagocytic and That Reduce Gonococcal Adherence to Epithelial Cells.

Author: Semchenko EA, Day CJ, and Seib KL
Abstract: Due to the continuing emergence of multidrug resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae there is an urgent need for the development of a gonococcal vaccine. We evaluated the gonococcal Neisseria heparin binding antigen (NHBA) as a potential vaccine candidate, in terms of its sequence conservation and expression in a range of N. gonorrhoeae strains, as well as its immunogenicity and the functional activity of antibodies raised to either the full length NHBA or a C-terminal fragment of NHBA (NHBA-c). The gene encoding NHBA is highly conserved and expressed in all N. gonorrhoeae strains investigated. Recombinant NHBA is immunogenic, and mice immunized with either NHBA or NHBA-c adjuvanted with either Freund's or aluminium hydroxide (alum) generated a humoral immune response, with predominantly IgG1 antibodies. Antibodies generated by both NHBA and NHBA-c antigens promoted complement activation and mediated bacterial killing via both serum bactericidal activity and opsonophagocytic activity, with slightly higher titers seen for the NHBA-c antigen. Anti-NHBA was also able to block the functional activity of NHBA by reducing binding to heparin and adherence to cervical and urethral epithelial cells. These data suggest that the gonococcal NHBA is a promising vaccine antigen to include in a vaccine to control N. gonorrhoeae .

Abstract: The sexually transmitted infection gonorrhoea is on the rise worldwide and an increased understanding of the mechanisms of colonization and pathogenesis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is required to aid development of new treatment and prevention strategies. In the current study, we investigate the neisserial heparin-binding antigen (NHBA) of N. gonorrhoeae and confirm its role in binding to several glycans, including heparin, and identify interactions of NHBA with both gonococcal and host cells. Furthermore, we report that a gonococcal nhba mutant displays decreased cell aggregation and microcolony formation, as well as reduced survival in human serum and reduced adherence to human cervical and urethral epithelial cells, relative to the wild-type strain. These data indicate that the gonococcal NHBA contributes to several aspects of the colonization and survival of N. gonorrhoeae and may be a target for new antimicrobial or vaccines., (© The Author(s) 2019.

Abstract: Background: Moraxella catarrhalis is a leading cause of otitis media (OM) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). M. catarrhalis contains a Type III DNA adenine methyltransferase (ModM) that is phase-variably expressed (i.e., its expression is subject to random, reversible ON/OFF switching). ModM has six target recognition domain alleles (modM1-6), and we have previously shown that modM2 is the predominant allele, while modM3 is associated with OM. Phase-variable DNA methyltransferases mediate epigenetic regulation and modulate pathogenesis in several bacteria. ModM2 of M. catarrhalis regulates the expression of a phasevarion containing genes important for colonization and infection. Here we describe the phase-variable expression of modM3, the ModM3 methylation site and the suite of genes regulated within the ModM3 phasevarion., Results: Phase-variable expression of modM3, mediated by variation in length of a 5'-(CAAC) n -3' tetranucleotide repeat tract in the open reading frame was demonstrated in M. catarrhalis strain CCRI-195ME with GeneScan fragment length analysis and western immunoblot. We determined that ModM3 is an active N6-adenine methyltransferase that methylates the sequence 5'-AC m6 ATC-3'. Methylation was detected at all 4446 5'-ACATC-3' sites in the genome when ModM3 is expressed. RNASeq analysis identified 31 genes that are differentially expressed between modM3 ON and OFF variants, including five genes that are involved in the response to oxidative and nitrosative stress, with potential roles in biofilm formation and survival in anaerobic environments. An in vivo chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) model of otitis media demonstrated that transbullar challenge with the modM3 OFF variant resulted in an increased middle ear bacterial load compared to a modM3 ON variant. In addition, co-infection experiments with NTHi and M. catarrhalis modM3 ON or modM3 OFF variants revealed that phase variation of modM3 altered survival of NTHi in the middle ear during early and late stage infection., Conclusions: Phase variation of ModM3 epigenetically regulates the expression of a phasevarion containing multiple genes that are potentially important in the progression of otitis media.

Abstract: Phasevarions (phase-variable regulons) are emerging as an important area of bacterial gene regulation. Many bacterial pathogens contain phasevarions, with gene expression controlled by the phase-variable expression of DNA methyltransferases via epigenetic mechanisms. Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) contains the phase-variable methyltransferase modA, of which multiple allelic variants exist (modA1-21). We have previously demonstrated 5 of 21 these modA alleles are overrepresented in NTHi strains isolated from children with middle ear infections. In this study we investigated the modA allele distribution in NTHi strains isolated from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD. We demonstrate that the distribution of modA alleles in a large panel of COPD isolates is different to the distribution seen in middle ear infections, suggesting different modA alleles may provide distinct advantages in the differing niches of the middle ear and COPD airways. We also identified two new phase-variable modA alleles - modA15 and modA18 - and demonstrate that these alleles methylate distinct DNA sequences and control unique phasevarions. The modA15 and modA18 alleles have only been observed in COPD isolates, indicating that these two alleles may be markers for isolates likely to cause exacerbations of COPD.

48. The meningococcal vaccine antigen GNA2091 is an analogue of YraP and plays key roles in outer membrane stability and virulence.

Abstract: GNA2091 is one of the components of the 4-component meningococcal serogroup B vaccine (4CMenB) vaccine and is highly conserved in all meningococcal strains. However, its functional role has not been fully characterized. Here we show that nmb2091 is part of an operon and is cotranscribed with the nmb2089, nmb2090 , and nmb2092 adjacent genes, and a similar but reduced operon arrangement is conserved in many other gram-negative bacteria. Deletion of the nmb2091 gene causes an aggregative phenotype with a mild defect in cell separation; differences in the outer membrane composition and phospholipid profile, in particular in the phosphoethanolamine levels; an increased level of outer membrane vesicles; and deregulation of the zinc-responsive genes such as znuD . Finally, the ∆2091 strain is attenuated with respect to the wild-type strain in competitive index experiments in the infant rat model of meningococcal infection. Altogether these data suggest that GNA2091 plays important roles in outer membrane architecture, biogenesis, homeostasis, and in meningococcal survival in vivo , and a model for its role is discussed. These findings highlight the importance of GNA2091 as a vaccine component.-Seib, K. L., Haag, A. F., Oriente, F., Fantappiè, L., Borghi, S., Semchenko, E. A., Schulz, B. L., Ferlicca, F., Taddei, A.

Abstract: Background: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are closely-related bacteria that cause a significant global burden of disease. Control of gonorrhoea is becoming increasingly difficult, due to widespread antibiotic resistance. While vaccines are routinely used for N. meningitidis, no vaccine is available for N. gonorrhoeae. Recently, the outer membrane vesicle (OMV) meningococcal B vaccine, MeNZB, was reported to be associated with reduced rates of gonorrhoea following a mass vaccination campaign in New Zealand. To probe the basis for this protection, we assessed the cross-reactivity to N. gonorrhoeae of serum raised to the meningococcal vaccine Bexsero, which contains the MeNZB OMV component plus 3 recombinant antigens (Neisseria adhesin A, factor H binding protein [fHbp]-GNA2091, and Neisserial heparin binding antigen [NHBA]-GNA1030)., Methods: A bioinformatic analysis was performed to assess the similarity of MeNZB OMV and Bexsero antigens to gonococcal proteins. Rabbits were immunized with the OMV component or the 3 recombinant antigens of Bexsero, and Western blots and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to assess the generation of antibodies recognizing N. gonorrhoeae. Serum from humans immunized with Bexsero was investigated to assess the nature of the anti-gonococcal response., Results: There is a high level of sequence identity between MeNZB OMV and Bexsero OMV antigens, and between the antigens and gonococcal proteins. NHBA is the only Bexsero recombinant antigen that is conserved and surfaced exposed in N. gonorrhoeae. Bexsero induces antibodies in humans that recognize gonococcal proteins., Conclusions: The anti-gonococcal antibodies induced by MeNZB-like OMV proteins could explain the previously-seen decrease in gonorrhoea following MeNZB vaccination. The high level of human anti-gonococcal NHBA antibodies generated by Bexsero vaccination may provide additional cross-protection against gonorrhoea., (© The Author(s) 2018.

Abstract: Phase-variable DNA methyltransferases control the expression of multiple genes via epigenetic mechanisms in a wide variety of bacterial species. These systems are called phasevarions, for phase-variable regulons. Phasevarions regulate genes involved in pathogenesis, host adaptation and antibiotic resistance. Many human-adapted bacterial pathogens contain phasevarions. These include leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, such as non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae , Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria spp. Phase-variable methyltransferases and phasevarions have also been discovered in environmental organisms and veterinary pathogens. The existence of many different examples suggests that phasevarions have evolved multiple times as a contingency strategy in the bacterial domain, controlling phenotypes that are important in adapting to environmental change. Many of the organisms that contain phasevarions have existing or emerging drug resistance. Vaccines may therefore represent the best and most cost-effective tool to prevent disease caused by these organisms. However, many phasevarions also control the expression of current and putative vaccine candidates; variable expression of antigens could lead to immune evasion, meaning that vaccines designed using these targets become ineffective. It is therefore essential to characterize phasevarions in order to determine an organism's stably expressed antigenic repertoire, and rationally design broadly effective vaccines.
