Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections, characterized by increasing antibiotic resistance, severity and mortality. Therefore, numerous efforts have been made nowadays to identify new therapeutic targets. This study aimed to find potential drug targets and vaccine candidates in drug-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa. Extensive antibiotic-resistant and carbapenem-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa with complete genome were selected and ten common hypothetical proteins (HPs) containing more than 200 amino acids were obtained. The structural, functional and immunological predictions of these HPs were performed with the utility of bioinformatics approaches. Two common HPs (Gene ID: 2877781645 and 2877781936) among other investigated proteins were revealed as potential candidates for pharmaceutical and vaccine purposes based on structural and physicochemical properties, functional domains, subcellular localizations, signal peptides, toxicity, virulence factor, antigenicity, allergenicity and immunoinformatic predictions. The consequence of this predictive study will assist in novel drug and vaccine design through experimental investigations.
