Advancing beyond conventional vaccines: The potential of next-generation vaccines in combatting antibiotic-resistant bacteria

These bioinformatics approaches enable the identification of conserved antigenic targets across multiple strains of resistant bacteria. Multi-epitope vaccines, such as those based on recombinant proteins, DNA, or mRNA, offer the potential for broader protection and faster development timelines. Next-generation vaccines hold promise not only for enhancing immune responses but also for providing a safer and more scalable alternative to traditional vaccines against AMR.
