Molecular Characterization and Designing of a Novel Multiepitope Vaccine Construct Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Jyotirmayee Dey et al.

Summary: In this study, a computational approach was used to design a vaccine against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The vaccine, containing peptides from B-cells and T-cells, showed good immunogenic and biophysical properties. Through various experiments, the vaccine demonstrated promising efficacy in preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Immunoinformatic approach employing modeling and simulation to design a novel vaccine construct targeting MDR efflux pumps to confer wide protection against typhoidal Salmonella serovars

Soumya Ranjan Mahapatra et al.

Summary: Developing a multi-epitope subunit vaccine peptide targeting multi-drug resistance proteins in Salmonella is a promising strategy to increase vaccine success. The designed vaccine construct showed high immunogenicity and strong binding affinity to HLA alleles. This immunoinformatic approach could potentially stimulate immune responses in typhoidal Salmonella serovars.

B and T cell epitope-based peptides predicted from clumping factor protein of Staphylococcus aureus as vaccine targets

Jyotirmayee Dey et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus infection poses a global threat due to its highly debilitating nature and resistance to antimicrobial medicines. The study identified potential vaccine candidates from the Clumping factor surface proteins and designed a multi-epitope vaccine chimera. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of the structure for further analysis.

Epidemiology of healthcare-associated infection reported from a hospital-wide incidence study: considerations for infection prevention and control planning

S. Stewart et al.

Summary: This study conducted a prospective observational incidence study to determine the epidemiology of HAI within a general and a teaching hospital in Scotland, showing higher incidence in older people and emergency cases, and increased rates in summer months. It provided the first national-level estimate of the burden of HAI, offering a foundation for targeting IPC measures to those who would benefit the most.

Immunoinformatics and molecular docking studies reveal a novel Multi-Epitope peptide vaccine against pneumonia infection

Soumya Ranjan Mahapatra et al.

Summary: A novel multi-epitope vaccine targeting the highly immunodominant type 3 fimbrial protein of Klebsiella pneumoniae was developed using immunoinformatics techniques. The vaccine showed high potential for stimulating B and T-cell immune responses against pneumonia infection, but experimental immunological studies are necessary to confirm its viability as a commercial vaccine.

Development of a Conserved Chimeric Vaccine for Induction of Strong Immune Response against Staphylococcus aureus Using Immunoinformatics Approaches

Rahul Chatterjee et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus is a highly deadly Gram-positive bacterium that poses a major challenge for vaccine development. The novel vaccine candidate constructed using immunoinformatics approach shows promising immune response in worldwide populations. This chimeric vaccine has the potential to elicit both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses against the multidrug-resistant pathogen.
