BCG SL222 Sofia is a substrain descending from the Russian BCG-I vaccine strain. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of BCG SL222 Sofia, which will facilitate identity assurance and will contribute to more consistent manufacturing, standardization, and differentiation of substrains used in vaccine production.

Serological diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis infection in badgers (Meles meles) has relied primarily on antibody recognition of MPB83, a sero-dominant antigen of M. bovis. Most vaccine studies in badgers to date have used the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) Danish strain, a low producer of MPB83.

bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only live attenuated vaccine available against tuberculosis. The first BCG vaccination was done exactly 100 years ago, in 1921. The BCG vaccine strains used worldwide represent a family of daughter sub-strains with distinct genotypic characteristics.

A novel five year Test and Vaccinate or Remove (TVR) wildlife research intervention project in badgers (Meles meles) commenced in 2014 in a 100km2 area of Northern Ireland. It aimed to increase the evidence base around badgers and bovine TB and help create well-informed and evidence-based strategies to address the issue of cattle-to-cattle spread and spread between cattle and badgers. It involved real-time trap-side testing of captured badgers and vaccinating those that tested negative for bTB (BadgerBCG-BCG Danish 1331) and removal of those that tested bTB positive using the Dual-Path Platform VetTB test (DPP) for cervids (Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Medford, NY USA).

During the investigation of the BCG allergenic potency it is advisable to vaccinate with decreasing doses, estimating the lowest dose that induces tuberculin sensitivity and specific morphological inflammation. Although the biological test does not reveal the mathematical correlation of dose-effect relationships, it is important to look for the determination of the minimal sensitizing dose for every BCG vaccine. In this study, three groups of twenty four guinea pigs were vaccinated with decreasing doses of reconstituted BCG vaccine: 120 ng, 12 ng and 1.
