Abstract: The present invention provides vaccine compositions and methods of producing such compositions. Other embodiments of the invention include methods of treating a pathogen infection, methods of vaccinating a subject against a pathogen infection, and methods for treating an antibiotic-resistance bacterial infection in a subject in need thereof. In further embodiments, the invention includes methods of decreasing the level of a pathogen in a subject having a pathogen infection, methods of increasing the surviving rate of a subject having a pathogen infection, methods of reducing the level of pain associated with a pathogen infection, and methods of reducing the level of distress associated with a pathogen infection in a subject in need thereof. Novel scaffold compositions and opsonin-bound or lectin-bound pathogen compositions, and uses thereof, are also provided herein.

Abstract: The technology described herein is directed to methods for detection of microbes and microbe components. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, the methods comprise methods of microbe isolation, sample preparation, mass spectrometry, or analysis. In some embodiments of any of the aspects, such methods can be applied to detect at least one microbe or at least one microbial component in a sample, including not limited to a patient sample, an animal model sample, an environmental sample, or a non-biological sample.
