    Abstract: Assays, arrays, and methods for distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection are disclosed. The antibiotic crisis is in part driven by over prescription of antibiotics. There is a tendency, particular in pediatrics, to give an antibiotic even for viral infections. Thus, embodiments herein are directed to the problem of distinguishing a bacterial infection from a viral infection to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

    Abstract: A method of inducing a generalized immune response, includes administering to a subject an immunologically effective amount of one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46, thereby inducing a generalized immune response to infection by a pathogen in a subject. A prophylactic or therapeutic composition for inducing a generalized immune response, includes an immunologically effective amount of one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46. A method of distinguishing a subject infected with a pathogen from an uninfected subject, includes detecting an antibody in the subject that selectively binds one or more isolated immunogenic peptides comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NOs: 1-46, wherein the presence of the antibody indicates that the subject is infected with the pathogen. A general method to discover broadly protective components for a vaccine is also disclosed.
