Immunoinformatics aided designing of a next generation poly-epitope vaccine against uropathogenic to combat urinary tract infections.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most prevalent bacterial infections and uropathogenic (UPEC) stands among the primary causative agents of UTIs. The usage of antibiotics is the routine therapy being used in various countries to treat UTIs but becoming ineffective because of increasing antibiotic resistance among UPEC strains. Thus, there must be the development of some alternative treatment strategies such as vaccine development against UPEC.
