| الوصف: | Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a common bacterium that can cause iatrogenic infection. Recently, the rise of antibiotic resistance among K. pneumoniae strains is one key factor associated with antibiotic treatment failure. Hencefore, there is an urgent need for effective K. pneumoniae vaccines. This study aimed to design a multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) candidate against K. pneumonia by utilizing an immunoinformatics method. In this study, we obtained 15 cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes, 10 helper T lymphocyte epitopes, 6 linear B-cell epitopes, and 2 conformational B-cell epitopes for further research. Then, we designed a multi-epitope vaccine composed of a total of 743 amino acids, containing the epitopes linked by GPGPG flexible links and an EAAAK linker to the Cholera Toxin Subunit B coadjuvant.The observed properties of the MEV, including non-allergenicity, high antigenicity, and hydrophilicity, are noteworthy. The improvements in the tertiary structure through structural refinement and disulfide bonding, coupled with promising molecular interactions revealed by molecular dynamics simulations with TLR4, position the MEV as a strong candidate for further investigation against K. pneumoniae. |
