The aim of this study is to investigate the protective efficacy of vaccine candidate against Bruccella abortus in Beagles. The vaccines are composed of Salmonella Typhimurium strains expressing recombinant Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS), Omp19, PrpA or SOD proteins of B. abortus. The Beagles in Group A (n = 3) were subcutaneously (SC) inoculated with approximately 4.0 × 109 colony-forming units (CFU/ml) of the S. Typhimurium delivery strain containing only 1 ml of pJHL65. Beagles in Groups B, C, D and E (n = 3 Beagles per group) were SC immunised with 1 ml of approximately 4.0 × 109 CFU/ml of S. Typhimurium expressing the BLS, Omp19, PrpA and SOD proteins, respectively. Serum IgG, interleukin-4 and interferon-gamma concentrations were significantly higher in Groups B–E than in Group A. The severity of brucellosis in terms of infection index and colonisation of B. abortus in tissues was lower in the immunised groups than in the control group. We conclude that each of the S. Typhimurium delivery strains induces significant antigen-specific immune responses and protection in Beagles against infections by B. abortus strain 544. Further investigations are needed to improve the protective efficacy of the candidate vaccine and explore its practical application in Beagles.
