To develop an effective Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) outer-membrane-vesicles (OMVs) vaccine, we eliminated multiple virulence factors from a wild-type P. aeruginosa PA103 strain (PA103) to generate a recombinant strain, PA-m14. The PA-m14 strain was tailored with a pSMV83 plasmid encoding the pcrV-hitA T fusion gene to produce OMVs. The recombinant OMVs enclosed increased amounts of PcrV-HitA T bivalent antigen (PH) (termed OMV-PH) and exhibited reduced toxicity compared to the OMVs from PA103. Intramuscular vaccination with OMV-PH from PA-m14(pSMV83) afforded 70% protection against intranasal challenge with 6.5 × 10 6 CFU (∼30 LD 50 ) of PA103, while immunization using OMVs without the PH antigen (termed OMV-NA) or the PH antigen alone failed to offer effective protection against the same challenge. Further immune analysis showed that the OMV-PH immunization significantly stimulated potent antigen-specific humoral and T-cell (Th1/Th17) responses in comparison to the PH or OMV-NA immunization in mice, which can effectively hinder PA infection. Undiluted anti-sera from OMV-PH-immunized mice displayed significant opsonophagocytic killing of WT PA103 compared to antisera from PH antigen- or OMV-NA-immunized mice. Moreover, the OMV-PH immunization afforded significant antibody-indentpednet cross-protection to mice against PAO1 and a clinical isolate AMC-PA10 strains. Collectively, the recombinant PA OMV delivering the PH bivalent antigen exhibits high immunogenicity and would be a promising next-generation vaccine candidate against PA infection.
