Provided herein are isolated proteins isolatable from a Klebsiella spp. Also provided are compositions that include one or more of the proteins, and methods for making and methods for using the proteins.

The invention provides therapeutic compositions that present an artificial repertoire of mammalian pattern recognition receptor (PRR) agonists, so that the pattern of PRR agonists recapitulates a distinct portion of a PRR agonist signature of a mammalian pathogen. The artificial repertoire of PRR agonists may be formulated together in a therapeutic vehicle for combined presentation to an innate immune cell resident in a target tissue in a mammalian host, and the vehicle adapted to deliver the PRR agonists to the target tissue, so as to modulate an immune response.

The present invention relates to a synthetic saccharide of general formula (I) that is related to Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O1, O2, O2ac, and O8 O-polysaccharide and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 O-polysaccharide and conjugate thereof. Said synthetic saccharide, said conjugate and pharmaceutical composition containing said synthetic saccharide or said conjugate are useful for prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae. Furthermore, the synthetic saccharide of general formula (I) is useful as marker in immunological assays for detection of antibodies against Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria.

Disclosed herein are vaccine compositions for the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections (UT!s) and methods for delivery of the vaccine compositions. Moreover, the disclosure provides adjuvant compositions for vaccines to modulate cellular responses. such as an immune response.

Provided herein are isolated proteins isolatable from a Klebsiella spp. Also provided are compositions that include one or more of the proteins, and methods for making and methods for using the proteins.

The present disclosure provides MrkA binding proteins, e.g., antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof that bind to MrkA and induce opsonophagocytic killing of Klebsiella (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae). The present disclosure also provides methods of reducing Klebsiella (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae) or treating or preventing Klebsiella (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae) infection in a subject comprising administering MrkA binding proteins, e.g., antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, MrkA polypeptides, immunogenic fragments thereof, or polynucleotides encoding MrkA or immunogenic fragments thereof to the subject.

The present invention relates to proteins and nucleic acids derived from Klebsiella pneumonia as well as therapeutic and diagnostic uses of the proteins and nucleic acids.

Provided herein are glycosylated ComP proteins, fragments and fusion proteins thereof, and methods of making, for example, for use in the production of conjugate vaccines. Also provided herein are conjugate vaccines against diseases including bacterial diseases.

This invention provides a polypeptide derived from E. coli or a fragment thereof, including compositions and methods thereof. In one embodiment, the compositions comprise a polypeptide derived from E. coli or a fragment thereof, and modified O-polysaccharide molecules derived from E. coli lipopolysaccharides or conjugates thereof. In a further aspect, the compositions further comprise modified O-polysaccharide molecules derived from Klebsiella pneumoniae or conjugates thereof.

Polypeptides comprising a FimH lectin domain comprising an amino acid mutation that causes the FimH lectin domain to be in the low affinity conformation for mannose are described. Pharmaceutical compositions which comprise such polypeptides and methods of stimulating an immune response in a subject in need thereof by administration of the polypeptide are further described.
