TL;DR
PsaA is the most promising serotype-independent vaccine candidate, while other AdcA, AmiA, and Lmb represent potential antigens for multicomponent formulations.
Background: Streptococcus anginosus is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen associated with clinically significant infections, including brain abscesses, bacteremia, empyema, and infective endocarditis. The absence of an approved vaccine against this organism warrants investigation of potential preventive candidates. Ac...
The computational analyses support the proposed multi-epitope construct as a potential vaccine candidate against S. haemolyticus and provide a basis for its further experimental evaluation.
Andes virus (ANDV), a pathogenic orthohantavirus associated with hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, remains a public health concern because of its severe clinical outcomes and the absence of broadly approved vaccines for human use. The viral glycoprotein is a relevant antigenic target because of its surface localizat...

Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) poses a significant threat to global public health, and effective preventive measures are urgently needed. The widespread antibiotic resistance of KP underscores the critical need for vaccine-based strategies. Although numerous vaccine candidates against KP have been investigated, none has ye...
The rise of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains and the lack of licensed vaccines highlight the urgent need for effective immunization strategies. The pan-genome analysis was performed to find out the core proteins of K. pneumoniae using reverse vaccinology approaches. Selected core proteins based on subc...

An integrated reverse vaccinology strategy is used to identify conserved immunogenic regions from the Envelope protein and NS5 protein, and construct a multi-epitope vaccine for Usutu virus, predicting enhanced humoral and cellular immune-response patterns following repeated antigen administration.
