Enhancing tuberculosis vaccine development: a deconvolution neural network approach for multi-epitope prediction.

Scientific reports
Tuberculosis (TB) a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) poses a significant threat to human life, and current BCG vaccinations only provide sporadic protection, therefore there is a need for developing efficient vaccines. Numerous immu...

Preclinical efficacy of a cell division protein candidate gonococcal vaccine identified by artificial intelligence.

mBio
Vaccines to curb the global spread of multidrug-resistant gonorrhea are urgently needed. Here, 26 vaccine candidates identified by an artificial intelligence-driven platform (Efficacy Discriminative Educated Network[EDEN]) were screened for efficacy ...

Application of the random forest algorithm to Streptococcus pyogenes response regulator allele variation: from machine learning to evolutionary models.

Scientific reports
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a globally significant bacterial pathogen. The GAS genotyping gold standard characterises the nucleotide variation of emm, which encodes a surface-exposed protein that is recombinogenic and under immune-based selection ...

A multicentre verification study of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this verification study was to compare the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) to the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In Tube (QFT-GIT). The new QFT-Plus test contains an extra antigen tube which, according to the manufacturer additionally...

Enhancing the Biological Relevance of Machine Learning Classifiers for Reverse Vaccinology.

International journal of molecular sciences
Reverse vaccinology (RV) is a bioinformatics approach that can predict antigens with protective potential from the protein coding genomes of bacterial pathogens for subunit vaccine design. RV has become firmly established following the development of...

Highly predictive support vector machine (SVM) models for anthrax toxin lethal factor (LF) inhibitors.

Journal of molecular graphics & modelling
Anthrax is a highly lethal, acute infectious disease caused by the rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The anthrax toxin lethal factor (LF), a zinc metalloprotease secreted by the bacilli, plays a key role in anthrax pathogenesis ...

Prediction of Bacterial Immunogenicity by Machine Learning Methods.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Prediction of bacterial immunogens is a prerequisite for the process of vaccine development through reverse vaccinology. The application of in silico methods allows significant reduction in time and cost for the discovery of potential vaccine candida...

The influence of vitamin D deficiency on eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori.

Advances in clinical and experimental medicine : official organ Wroclaw Medical University
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy improves the healing of various gastro-duodenal diseases such as chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer, and also reduces gastric cancer incidence. Several studies have reported on risk factors other th...
