Development of a Promising Bivalent Vaccine Against Klebsiella pneumoniae Based on Glycoengineered GMMA (geGMMA)

Exploration, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2025.
Multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, with no current licensed vaccines available. This study used a mutant E. coli strain expressing exogenous polysaccharides (from K. pneumoniae) to establish glycoengineered generalized modules for membrane antigens (geGMMA) vaccine platform, which demonstrated

Vaccination in Multiple Myeloma: Challenges and Strategies

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 115, Issue 4, Page 334-343, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by profound immunosuppression resulting from both disease‐related mechanisms and treatment‐induced immune dysfunction. This compromised immune status markedly increases susceptibility to infections, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in MM patients.

Immunity Switches and Macrophage Manipulations: Trauma, Ovulation, and Depression as Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation Risks

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to initial tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis bacteria have gained adaptations to manipulate the inflammatory process, sometimes settling into latency and containment in granulomas, ensuring their survival.

Unmasking Rarity: An Atypical Presentation of Lemierre's Syndrome

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Lemierre's syndrome (LS), otherwise known as postanginal sepsis, is a frequently overlooked condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), usually caused by oropharyngeal infection. However, ear space (otogenic) infections are one of the atypical causes of LS and have been rarely reported.
