Salmonella enterica  subsp.  enterica  serovar Gallinarum biovar Pullorum ( Salmonella  Pullorum) is highly adapted to chickens causing an acute systemic disease that results in high mortality. Vaccination represents one approach for promoting animal health, food safety and reducing environmental persistence in  Salmonella  control. An important consideration is that  Salmonella  vaccination in poultry should not interfere with the salmonellosis monitoring program. This is the basis of the DIVA (Differentiation of Infected and Vaccinated Animals) program. In order to achieve this goal,  waaL  mutant was developed on a  spiC  mutant that was developed previously. The safety, efficacy, and DIVA features of this vaccine candidate ( Salmonella  Pullorum Δ spiC Δ waaL ) were evaluated in broilers. Our results show that the truncated LPS in the vaccine strain has a differentiating use as both a bacteriological marker (rough phenotype) and also as a serological marker facilitating the differentiation between infected and vaccinated chickens. The rough mutant showed adequate safety being avirulent in the host chicks and showed increased sensitivity to environmental stresses. Single intramuscular immunization of day-old broiler chicks with the mutant confers ideal protection against lethal wild type challenge by significantly stimulating both humoral and cellular immune responses as well as reducing the colonization of the challenge strain. Significantly lower mean pathology scores were observed in the vaccination group compared to the control group. Additionally, the mutant strain generated cross-protection against challenge with the wild type  Salmonella  Gallinarum thereby improving survival and with the wild type  Salmonella  Enteritidis thereby reducing colonization. These results suggest that the double-mutant strain may be a safe, effective, and cross-protective vaccine against  Salmonella  infection in chicks while conforming to the requirements of the DIVA program.
