"Whole-genome sequencing of bacteria and advances in bioinformatics have revolutionized the vaccinology field, leading to the identification of potential vaccine candidates without the need for cultivating the pathogen. This approach, termed 'reverse vaccinology,' reduces the time and cost required for the identification of candidate vaccines and provides new solutions for those diseases for which conventional approaches have failed," scientists writing in the journal Drug Discovery Today report.
