Enterobacter cloacae is mainly responsible for sepsis, urethritis, and respiratory tract infections. These bacteria may affect the transcription of the host and particularly their immune system by producing changes in their epigenetics. In the present study, four proteins of Enterobacter cloacae were used to predict the epitopes for the construction of an mRNA vaccine against Enterobacter cloacae infections. In order to generate cellular and humoral responses, various immunoinformatic-based approaches were used for developing the vaccine. The molecular docking analysis was performed for predicting the interaction among the chosen epitopes and corresponding MHC alleles. The vaccine was developed by combining epitopes (thirty-three total), which include the adjuvant Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4). The constructed vaccine was analyzed and predicted to cover 99.2% of the global population. Additionally, in silico immunological modeling of the vaccination was also carried out. When it enters the cytoplasm of the human (host), the codon is optimized to generate the translated mRNA efficiently. Moreover, the peptide structures were analyzed and docked with TLR-3 and TLR-4. A dynamic simulation predicted the stability of the binding complex. The assumed construct was considered to be a potential candidate for a vaccine against Enterobacter cloacae infections. Hence, the proposed construct is suitable for in vitro analyses to validate its effectiveness.
