Article Abstract
The prevalence of allergic diseases is regarded as one of the key challenges in health worldwide. Although the precise mechanisms underlying this rapid increase in prevalence are unknown, emerging evidence suggests that genetic and environmental factors play a significant role. The immune system, microbiota, viruses, and bacteria have all been linked to the onset of allergy disorders in recent years. Avoiding allergen exposure is the best treatment option; however, steroids, antihistamines, and other symptom-relieving drugs are also used. Allergen bioinformatics encompasses both computational tools/methods and allergen-related data resources for managing, archiving, and analyzing allergological data. This study highlights allergy-promoting mechanisms, algorithms, and concepts in allergen bioinformatics, as well as major areas for future research in the field of allergology.

Recent advancements in genomics and "omic" technologies have ushered in a transformative era referred to as personalized or precision medicine. This innovative approach considers the unique genetic profiles of individuals, along with a range of variability factors, to devise tailored disease treatments and prevention strategies that cater to the distinct needs of each patient. Although the terms personalized medicine and precision medicine are frequently utilized interchangeably, it is essential to delineate the subtle distinctions between them.

Moraxella catarrhalis is a Gram-negative diplococcus bacterium and a common respiratory pathogen, implicated in 15-20% of otitis media (OM) cases in children and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. The rise of drug-resistant Moraxella catarrhalis has highlighted the urgent need for the potent vaccine strategies to reduce its clinical burden. Despite a mortality rate of 13%, there is no FDA-approved vaccine for this pathogen.

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative pathogen that causes sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and trachoma. Current interventions are limited due to the widespread nature of asymptomatic infections, and the absence of a licensed vaccine exacerbates the challenge. In this study, we predicted outer membrane β-barrel (OMBB) proteins and designed a multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) construct using identified proteins.
