Chronic respiratory infection withPseudomonas aeruginosais a leading clinical problem among patients with cystic fibrosis. Because antimicrobial agents are usually ineffective in eradicating these infections, additional therapeutic or prophylactic measures should be considered. In this study, an experimental guinea pig model of chronicPseudomonas aeruginosabronchopneumonia was utilized to determine whether active immunization with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)P. aeruginosaantigen may favorably influence the course of this infection. Experimental pneumonia was established by tracheobronchial instillation of suspensions of microscopic agar beads, which were impregnated with viableP. aeruginosa.After 4 wk of infection, the geometric mean (reciprocal) passive hemagglutinating Pseudomonas antibody titer was 185±1.3, and lungs contained 16.8±4 × 103colony-forming units Pseudomonas/ml of lung homogenate. Pseudomonas immunization, given prior to a 4-wk infection, resulted in significantly higher passive hemagglutinating titers (474±1.4;P< 0.05), lower numbers of viable Pseudomonas in lung tissues (2.4±0.6 × 103;P< 0.01), and reduced histopathology in lungs. In contrast, providing Pseudomonas immunization to animals 2 wk after pulmonary infection was established, offered no apparent benefit. Likewise, no protection was afforded by prophylactic immunization with a non-Pseudomonas LPS antigen (Escherichia coliJ5 vaccine). Using a Raji cell assay, modified to detect circulating immune complexes in vaccinated and infected guinea pig sera, there was no evidence that active immunization increased the frequency of circulating immune complexes in infected guinea pigs.It is concluded that prophylactic immunization with Pseudomonas LPS antigen may confer protection from subsequent Pseudomonas bronchopneumonia, but that immunization during established infection is not beneficial.Images
