Abstract

Vaccines are among the most important public health interventions currently available. The global demand for vaccines is growing due to global population growth, ongoing global immunization campaigns and the increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Vaccines are of high importance in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) where millions of deaths occur annually due to vaccines-preventable diseases. Global coverage would need at least 200 million doses annually of a two-dose vaccine to cover the at-risk birth cohort, and considerably more for catch up vaccination during a roll out phase. Especially for vaccines against diseases in LMIC, there is a major added constraint: the vaccine production cost per unit and manufacturing facilities investments must be minimized to ensure the vaccines will be both viable and sustainable.

For diseases caused by Gram-negative bacteria, the vaccine platform based on the GMMA technology is promising. GMMA are highly immunogenic outer membrane exosomes produced from genetically engineered bacteria modified for high yield hyper-blebbing that can be purified with minimal downstream processing. Simple robust scalable processes make GMMA ideal for cost-conscious vaccines.
