Normally administered as a percutaneous injection, BCG is a live significantly attenuated bacteria that is now being investigated for its potential within an inhalable vaccine formulation. This study investigates the feasibility and performance of two jet and two vibrating mesh nebulizers aerosolizing BCG and the resulting particle characteristics and residual viability of the bacteria postaerosolization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A jet nebulizer (Collison), outfitted either with a 3- or 6-jet head, was compared with two clinical nebulizers, the vibrating mesh Omron MicroAir and Aerogen Solo devices. Particle characteristics, including aerodynamic particle sizing, was performed on all devices within a common aerosol chamber configuration and comparable BCG innocula concentrations. Integrated aerosol samples were collected for each generator and assayed for bacterial viability using conventional microbiological technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A batch lot of BCG (Danish) was grown to titer and used in all generator assessments. Aerosol particles within the respirable range were generated from all nebulizers at four different concentrations of BCG. The jet nebulizers produced a uniformly smaller particle size than the vibrating mesh devices, although particle concentrations by mass were similar across all devices tested with the exception of the Aerogen Solo, which resulted in a low concentration of BCG aerosols.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The resulting measured viable BCG aerosol concentration fraction produced by each device approximated one another; however, a measurable decrease of efficiency and overall viability reduction in the jet nebulizer was observed in higher BCG inoculum starting concentrations, whereas the vibrating mesh nebulizer returned a remarkably stable viable aerosol fraction irrespective of inoculum concentration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/jamp.2021.0030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,7]],"date-time":"2021-10-07T17:57:00Z","timestamp":1633629420000},"page":"50-56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Particle Dynamics and Bioaerosol Viability of Aerosolized Bacillus Calmette\u2013Gu\u00e9rin Vaccine Using Jet and Vibrating Mesh Clinical Nebulizers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8822-0707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel K.","family":"Redmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Aerobiology, Division of Microbiology, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, Louisiana, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Kaushal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southwest National Primate Research Center, Texas Biomedical Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nadia","family":"Golden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Aerobiology, Division of Microbiology, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, Louisiana, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Breeanna","family":"Threeton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Aerobiology, Division of Microbiology, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, Louisiana, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie Z.","family":"Killeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Aerobiology, Division of Microbiology, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, Louisiana, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip J.","family":"Kuehl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1710-6974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chad J.","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Aerobiology, Division of Microbiology, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, Louisiana, USA."},{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Tulane School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2012.00154"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.06.038513"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/155.11.1066"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2005.03.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","first-page":"271","article-title":"[Successes and failures of BCG vaccination.
