Vaccine development[edit]

[edit]

Currently, no vaccine is known in the US against M. catarrhalis infection. It is a significant cause of respiratory tract infections against which a vaccine is sought. Several outer membrane proteins are currently under investigation as potential vaccine antigens, including the porin M35. There is currently no licensed vaccine for M. catarrhalis. There are many clinical trials for potential vaccines due to several promising vaccine antigen candidates. There are many steps required to advance vaccines for M. catarrhalis from the promising candidate vaccine antigens that been identified [1]. This includes the standarization of assay systems to assess candidate antigens, regulatory hurdles, and identification of a reliable correlate of protection and expansion between industries [1].

A vaccine preventing M. catarrhalis would have a great impact on health related concerns with COPD [1]. Moraxella catarrhalis (Mcat) is a pathogen associated associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults [2]. Mcat is a known pathogen associated with COPD. Vaccine formulations containing Mcat and NTHi proteins were investigated in adults with smoking history [3]. Scientists are currently in the antigen identification stage for M. catarrhalis [4]. UspA2 is a Mcat surface antigen and was considered a vaccine candidate [2].

In children, M. catarrhalis causes otitis media and in adults, M. catarrhalis causes respiratory tract infections. Defense against a mucosal pathogen such as M. catarrhalis would be a mucosal vaccine [5]. There are currently no treatment options for Otitis media, an infection caused by M. catarrhalis other than antibiotics. Vaccine candidates for M. catarrhalis are currently being studied and this can be effective in treating the otitis media disease in children [6]. The introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) effects are being studied on the dynamics of M. catarrhalis in preschool children. The study found the introduction of PCV decreased the prevalence of M. catarrhalis with S. pneumoniae [7]. Mcat is the second most common cause of severity in adults with COPD along with Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae [1].

The reasoning behind why vaccine development for M. catarrhalis is difficult is because the bacteria and mucosal surface surface pathogens and protection can require a mucosal immune response [4]. Thus far, vaccine development has focussed on conserved surface exposed antigens, pill attachment factors, membrane-associated proteins, lipooligosaccharide-protein conjugates and integral out membrane proteins [4].

Moraxella catarrhalis is a fastidious, nonmotile, Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive diplococcus that can cause infections of the respiratory system, middle ear, eye, central nervous system, and joints of humans. It causes the infection of the host cell by sticking to the host cell using trimeric autotransporter adhesins. Moraxella catarrhalis (Mcat) is a pathogen associated associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults [8]. Currently, there is no vaccine is known in the US against M. catarrhalis infection.
