Broad array of surface proteins, membrane proteins, polysaccharides, and other exposed antigens on Salmonella enterica and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

This entry comprises the collective surface molecules exposed to the host immune system or environment by the pathogens Salmonella enterica and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, including a wide variety of surface proteins (e.g., adhesins, lipoproteins, proteases), membrane proteins, and polysaccharides (e.g., LPS, capsules). Each surface molecule often possesses distinct structural, immunomodulatory, and adhesive functions, and many are primary targets for host immunity, diagnostic assays, drug development, or vaccine design. The surfaceome of both bacteria is exceptionally diverse, shaped by post-translational modifications, proteolytic events, and genetic variability, making it a rich source of potential targets and simultaneously complicating efforts for therapeutic targeting or biomarker selection.
