Contriving multi-epitope vaccine ensemble for monkeypox disease using an immunoinformatics approach.

The current global outbreak of monkeypox (MPX) disease, caused by Monkeypox virus (MPXV), has resulted in 16 thousand infection cases, five deaths, and has been declared a global health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization. Given current challenges in the safety of existing vaccines, a vaccine to prevent MPX infection and/or onset of symptoms would significantly advance disease management. In this context, a multi-epitope-based vaccine could be a well-suited approach.

Tolerance to Glutaraldehyde in Mediated by Overexpression of the Aldehyde Reductase YqhD by YqhC.

Glutaraldehyde is a widely used biocide on the market for about 50 years. Despite its broad application, several reports on the emergence of bacterial resistance, and occasional outbreaks caused by poorly disinfection, there is a gap of knowledge on the bacterial adaptation, tolerance, and resistance mechanisms to glutaraldehyde. Here, we analyze the effects of the independent selection of mutations in the transcriptional regulator for biological replicates of cells subjected to adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) in the presence of glutaraldehyde.
