United States

OutlineØ IntroductionØ Active Bacterial Core surveillance and the
meningococcal strain collection in the USØ Prevalence and genetic diversity of vaccine
antigen FHbp, NadA and NhbA in the USØ Epidemiological features of the three
vaccine antigens in the USØ Molecular epidemiological features of the
US meningococcal isolatesØ Relationship between clonal complex and
vaccine antigens Ø Summary
Importance of Serogroup B Vaccines in the US
Ø Serogroup B cause of 1/3 of diseaseØ >60% of disease in infants age <1 yearØ Proportion will increase with MenACWY vaccine program
Ø Overall meningococcal disease incidence lowØ Vaccines would have to cover large proportion of disease causing strains to have impact
Ø Only adolescents receive MenACWY at this timeØ Benefits of serogroup B vaccination program increases if vaccine provides protection against other serogroupsØ Duration of protection important as cases do occur throughout life
Candidate Serogroup B Vaccines
Bivalent vaccine FHbp (factor H binding protein)-subfamily B (variant 1)-subfamily A (variant 2 & 3)
Multi-component vaccine FHbp variant 1 (subfamily B)
NadA (Neisserial adhesin A )NhbA (Neisserial heparin binding antigen ) (5 gene products with fusions 2 + 2 + 1 => 3 peptides)OMV NZ (Outer membrane vesicles of the New Zealand epidemic strain)

SummaryØ FHbp and NhbA are widely distributed
among NmB and non-B Nm isolates. All isolates contain one of these two antigens.
Ø NadA is only present in a small subset of Nm isolates.
Ø Proportion of strains with FHbp B/v1 vary by geographic area and age groupØ Oregon with high B/v1 rates because of
the outbreak cloneØ Young children and elderly more likely to
have an A/2-3 strain
Summary
Ø Distribution of the major clonal complexes among the US isolates is relatively stable over time.
Ø PorA in the US isolates is considerably diverse, but composition of the major PorA types did not show significant variation over time
Ø Some association was observed between clonal complex and these vaccine antigens but clonal complex cannot be used to predict vaccine antigen type.
Implications for a serogroup B vaccination program in the U.S.
Ø Potential for broad protection against serogroup B and non-B strains
Ø Data needed regarding antigen expression and their ability to induce sufficient serum bactericidal activity against the US isolates.

NmB Weighting for Oregon
• To better estimate the prevalence of vaccine antigens on NmB strains circulating in the US, analyses of NmB isolates are weighted to account for the increased incidence of NmB in Oregon– A weight of 0.10 was assigned to isolates
from Oregon– A weight of 0.90 (1-0.10) was assigned to
isolates from other ABCs sites• All results presented for NmB will be
weighted for Oregon, unless specified
