Abstract

The causative agent of plague, Yersinia pestis, is a highly virulent bacterial pathogen and a potential bioweapon. Depending on the route of infection, two prevalent forms of the disease — bubonic and pneumonic, are known. The latter is featured by a high fatality rate. Mortality in untreated bubonic plague patients reaches up to 40—60%, whereas untreated pneumonic plague is always lethal. The development of the infectious process in susceptible host is accounted for by a whole set of pathogenicity factors in plague pathogen displaying various functional modalities being expressed depending on stage of infectious process, providing their coordinated expression. Knocking out any of such factors, in turn, may not either affect microbe virulence or lead to its attenuation. A search for new Yersinia pestis pathogenicity factors and subsequent development of highly effective subunit and live attenuated plague vaccines inducing development of pronounced cellular and humoral immune reactions, and/or assessment of their potential use as molecular targets for plague therapy still remain a pressing issue, as both currently licensed plague vaccines do not meet the WHO requirements, whereas strains of plague microbe isolated in Madagascar are resistant to all drugs recommended for plague antibacterial therapy. Here we summarize an impact of described and newly discovered pathogenicity factors into the virulence of Y. pestis strains and their protective anti-plague activity. An effect of loss of genes encoding regulatory proteins as well as mutations in the genes for various transport systems of Y. pestis on attenuation of virulent strains is described as well. Perspectives for introducing characterized antigens into prototype subunit vaccine as well as some other obtained mutants into prototypes of living attenuating vaccines were assessed. The use of antibiotics for plague treatment has been embraced by the World Health Organization Expert Committee on Plague as the “gold standard” treatment. However, concerns regarding development of antibioticresistant Y. pestis strains accounted for further exploring alternatives to plague therapy. Several research groups continue to seek for other alternative approaches, e. g. treatment with inhibitors of pathogenicity factors. Preliminary data attempting to treat plague patients with pathogenicity factor inhibitors are summarized. Antivirulence drugs targeting key microbial factors represent new promising therapeutic options in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
