Integration of immunoinformatics and cheminformatics to design and evaluate a multitope vaccine against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa coinfection

Abstract: Introduction:Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) are the most common Gram-negative bacteria associated with pneumonia and coinfecting the same patient. Despite their high virulence, there is no effective vaccine against them.Methods: In the current study, the screening of several proteins from both pathogens highlighted FepA and OmpK35 for K. pneumonia in addition to HasR and OprF from P. aeruginosa as promising candidates for epitope mapping. Those four proteins we… Show more

“…These proteins were non-homologous to human and human gut proteomes, as well as reported to be essential for the survival of the parasite. These proteins are predicted to be located in the extracellular regions and possibly be the first molecules to interact with the host cells; hence, making them ideal vaccine candidates to target ( 74 ). Stringent criteria were followed to identify CTL, HTL, and linear B-cell epitopes.…”
