background and objectives: streptococcus agalactiae is the leading cause of bacterial sepsis and meningitis in newborns and results in pneumonia and bacteremia in adults. a number of s. agalactiae components are involved in colonization of target cells. destruction of peptidoglycan and division of covalently linked daughter cells is mediated by autolysins. in this study, autolytic activity and ...

Background: The arboviruses Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogen that threatens human health. Scientists have warned single mutation in the mosquito-borne ZIKV could spark another major outbreak of disease humans. Therefore, designing suitable vaccine for this seems necessary. This study aimed to predict protective epitopes envelope protein from with bioinformatics methods multi-epitope development....

globally, brucella melitensis and b. abortus are the most common cause of human brucellosis. the outer membrane protein 31 (omp31) and l7/l12 are immunodominant and protective antigens conserved in human brucella pathogens which are considered as potential vaccine candidates. we aimed to design the fusion protein from brucella l7/l12 and truncated omp31proteins, in silico , clone the fusion in ...

background: tuberculosis (tb) remains as a major cause of death around the world. construction of a new vaccine against tuberculosis is an effective way to control it. several vaccines against this disease have been developed. the aim of the present study was to cloning of tb10.4 gene in pcdna3.1+ plasmid and evaluation of its expression in eukaryotic cells. methods: firstly, tb10.4 fragment wa...

The haemolytic biovar of Gallibacterium anatis (G. anatis) is responsible for urogenital, gastrointestinal, and respiratory diseases in chickens. There are numerous reports on the resistance of G. anatis to antibiotics and recurrence of the disease, which raise concerns about antimicrobial treatment efficiency. Vaccination has been considered as the most feasibl...
