Approximately 1/6 of humanity is at high risk of experiencing cholera epidemics. The development of effective and safe vaccines against <i>Vibrio cholerae,</i> the primary cause of cholera, is part of the public health measures to prevent cholera epidemics. Natural nontoxigenic <i>V. cholerae</i> isolates represent a source of new genetically improved and relatively safe vaccine strains. However, the genomic engineering of wild-type <i>V. cholerae</i> strains is difficult, and these strains are genetically unstable due to their high homologous recombination activity. We comprehensively characterized two <i>V. cholerae</i> isolates using genome sequencing, bioinformatic analysis, and microscopic, physiological, and biochemical tests. Genetic constructs were Gibson assembled and electrotransformed into <i>V. cholerae</i>. Bacterial colonies were assessed using standard microbiological and immunological techniques. As a result, we created a synthetic chromoprotein-expressing reporter operon. This operon was used to improve the <i>V. cholerae</i> genome engineering approach and monitor the stability of the genetic constructs. Finally, we created a stable candidate <i>V. cholerae</i> vaccine strain bearing a <i>recA</i> deletion and expressing the β-subunit of cholera toxin. Thus, we developed a strategy for the rapid creation of genetically stable and relatively safe candidate vaccine strains. This strategy can be applied not only to <i>V. cholerae</i> but also to other important human bacterial pathogens. |
