Abstract: Presented herein are inactivated Staphylococcal bacterial immunogens. Also described herein are compositions including Staphylococcal immunogens. Methods for preparing and using the same are also described. Immunogens may enable a host immune response that can protect the host from infection and/or disease. Differential analysis of antigens that stimulate protective (immunogenic) and non-protective immunity can be used to identify correlates of protection that can be developed as subunit vaccine candidates.

Abstract: Participant-provided qualitative or comment-style responses to inquiries may be processed to generate processed responses, which may then be evaluated by participants for ranking. The processed responses may reflect groups of similar qualitative responses to, among other things, simplify and reduce the amount of data that needs to be reviewed by the participants for ranking. On the other hand, the processed responses may have a one-to-one correspondence with the qualitative responses, and the grouping of similar responses may occur after the participant ranking. Grouping after participant ranking may have the benefit of, among other things, simplifying the grouping, as only highest ranked responses may need to be grouped.
