Office of Biotechnology Activities; Recombinant DNA Research: Proposed Actions Under the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (NIH Guidelines)

The NIH Guidelines requires certain recombinant research to be reviewed by the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee and approved by the NIH Director (Section III-A-1). Such research involves the introduction of drug resistance into a microorganism if the introduction of that drug resistance trait can compromise the ability to treat disease caused by the microorganism in humans, animals or agriculture. In order to meet the threshold for consideration under Section III-A-1, the microorganism must be able to cause disease in humans, animals or agriculture. A proposal to deliberately transfer a chloramphenicol resistance trait into an attenuated strain (CO92 lcr-) of Yersinia pestis has been submitted to the NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA) by the Institutional Biosafety Committee at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Treatment guidelines recommend streptomycin as the first-line antibiotic for treatment of disease caused by wild type Y. pestis, and gentamicin is recommended when streptomycin is not available. Doxycycline and chloramphenicol are also effective and ciprofloxacin is recommended as prophylaxis and has been shown to treat disease in animal models.
