This invention belongs to the field of
genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a double-
gene-deleted
serotype 5
Haemophilus parasuis
attenuated vaccine strain, its construction method, and its application. This invention mainly utilizes modern
genetic engineering principles and
molecular biology techniques to delete the cpxA and cpxR genes, potential
virulence factors of HPS, constructing the HN1570 double-
gene-deleted strain HPS5△cpxAR. This double-
gene-deleted strain was deposited at the China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on June 16, 2023, with accession number CGMCC NO: 45596. Compared with the parent strain, this double-gene-deleted strain exhibits significantly reduced
virulence while maintaining the same
immunogenicity. The
attenuated live vaccine prepared from this strain as an
antigen provides 100% protection against
serotype 5 infection and good cross-protection against other serotypes and untyped
Haemophilus parasuis infections. Furthermore, the vaccine preparation process eliminates the need for inactivation and inactivation testing, simplifying the preparation method and increasing production efficiency. This lays the foundation for further development of novel, highly effective
genetically engineered live vaccines that provide high cross-protection
efficacy.
