Scientists convened to discuss novel strategies for discovering antigens and vaccines against ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species). The workshop highlighted challenges and opportunities in developing effective vaccines against these critical infections.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Immunology
- Vaccinology
Background:
- ESKAPE pathogens represent a critical threat in healthcare settings.
- Antigen and vaccine discovery for these bacteria face significant challenges.
- Novel approaches are needed to overcome existing roadblocks in developing effective vaccines.
