Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to vaccine compositions for treating and/or preventing infections by a bacterium of the Chlamydiaceae family, said compositions comprising bacteria of the Chlamydiaceae family, which have been previously treated by at least one peptidoglycan inhibitor, or extracts of said treated bacteria.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of protecting against infections caused by Chlamydia bacteria selected from the group consisting of Chlamydia muridarum, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psitacci, Chlamydia abortus, Chlamydia felis, Chlamydia caviae, Chlamydia pecorum, Chlamydia suis and Chlamydia trachomatis , comprising: administering to a subject a composition comprising an immunogenic dose of an inactivated β-lactam-treated form of Chlamydia bacteria selected from the group consisting of Chlamydia muridarum, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psitacci, Chlamydia abortus, Chlamydia felis, Chlamydia caviae, Chlamydia pecorum, Chlamydia suis and Chlamydia trachomatis, wherein the inactivated β-lactam-treated form of Chlamydia bacteria has been previously inactivated by treating with a β-lactam. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the β-lactam is selected from the group consisting of amoxicillin, benzylpenicillin, phenoxymethylpenicillin, cloxacillin, cefadroxil, cefixime, imipenem, mecillinam, clavulanic acid, tazobactam, sulbactam, and cefixime in combination with imipenem. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said β-lactam is benzylpenicillin. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the Chlamydia bacteria is Chlamydia trachomatis. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered in a repeated manner between 2 and 4 times over a period of 15 to 90 days. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein one or more booster administrations are carried out between 1 and 10 years after the first administration. 7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the composition is administered in a repeated manner between 2 and 4 times over a period of 15 to 90 days. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein one or more booster administrations are carried out between 1 and 10 years after the first administration. 9. The method of claim 3 , wherein the composition is administered in a repeated manner between 2 and 4 times over a period of 15 to 90 days. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein one or more booster administrations are carried out between 1 and 10 years after the first administration. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Chlamydia bacteria is Chlamydia trachomatis. 12. The method of claim 2 , wherein the Chlamydia bacteria is Chlamydia trachomatis.
