As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for effective vaccines has never been greater. In Pakistan, the situation is no different. According to data from the World Health Organization, Pakistan has seen over 880,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over 18,000 deaths as of January 2021 [1]. With numbers like these, it is clear that the development of vaccines is essential for bringing the pandemic under control and protecting the people of Pakistan. \u0000One of the primary reasons for the importance of vaccine development in Pakistan is the country's relatively limited resources. While many developed nations have the financial and technological resources to effectively manage the spread of COVID-19 through measures such as widespread testing and contact tracing, Pakistan has fewer resources at its disposal. In such a situation, vaccines provide an important tool for controlling the spread of the virus and protecting the population. Another reason for the need for vaccine development in Pakistan is the country's high population density. With over 220 million people living in a small area, Pakistan has one of the highest population densities in the world [2]. In such a densely populated country, it is especially important to have effective measures in place to prevent the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19. Vaccines can play a crucial role in this regard by providing immunity to large numbers of people, thereby reducing the overall transmission of the virus. \u0000There is also the issue of economic impact to consider. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on economies around the world, and Pakistan has been no exception. According to the World Bank, the pandemic is expected to have a significant impact on Pakistan's economy, with GDP growth forecast to fall from 2.4% in 2020 to -0.5% in 2021 [2]. One way to mitigate the economic effects of the pandemic would be to bring it under control as quickly as possible, and vaccines are an essential tool for achieving this. \u0000In order to address these challenges and improve vaccination rates in Pakistan, it is essential that efforts be made to increase the availability and accessibility of vaccines. This could involve investing in infrastructure and training to ensure that vaccines are properly stored, handled, and administered, as well as implementing outreach programs to educate the public about the importance of vaccination. In addition to these efforts, there is also a need for ongoing vaccine research and development in Pakistan. \u0000In conclusion, the need for vaccine development in Pakistan is clear. With limited resources, a high population density, and a struggling economy, the country needs effective tools for controlling the spread of COVID-19 and protecting its citizens. Vaccines have the potential to play a crucial role in this reg","PeriodicalId":19844,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan BioMedical Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85183844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pharmaceutical industries' efforts to create novel therapeutic choices are being slowed down by the active bacterial resistance to traditional antibiotics. Consequently, the rise in infectious diseases caused by resistant bacteria is accompanied by two main issues. Firstly, there is a rise in antibiotic resistance. Secondly, there is a growing disparity between the discovery of new drugs and the rise in antimicrobial resistance. Different treatment strategies are now being in practice to treat bacterial infections, including targeting bacterial virulence factors, bacteriophage therapy, and alteration of the microbiome. Alternative therapeutic approaches are consequently receiving more consideration as traditional antibiotics grow less effective [1]. \u0000The use of nanoparticles is one of the most promising ways for combating microbial drug resistance. Nitric oxide-releasing nanoparticles (NO NPs), chitosan-containing nanoparticles (chitosan NPs), and metal-containing nanoparticles are a few examples of nanoparticle types that use various ways to simultaneously fight against microorganisms. Nanoparticles can be used to overcome existing drug resistance mechanisms such as decreased drug absorption and increased drug efflux from the microbial cell, biofilm formation, and intrinsic resistance. Finally, antimicrobial drugs can be directed via nanoparticles to the site of infection, enabling greater therapeutic doses to be administered there and overcoming resistance. Antibodies directed against a specific antigen on the surface of the target microorganism can be coupled with nanoparticles. For instance, S. aureus can be killed with great specificity using nanoparticles linked with protein A antibodies [2]. \u0000Nanoparticles' chemical structure enables longer binding, active targeting of antibiotics with surface functionalization at the target location, and defense against enzymes. As a result, reaching a larger antibiotic concentration in the cell eliminates the need for a higher dose, which reduces adverse effects. Antibiotic nanoparticle conjugates have been recognized by several scientists as a novel class of antibacterial drugs that can lessen the issue of multidrug resistance. Numerous nanoparticles with antimicrobial properties, such as silver, gold, zinc oxide, and titanium oxide, have been tested against microbial pathogens that are multidrug-resistant in conjunction with commercially available antibiotics or peptides [3]. \u0000Widespread of infectious diseases caused by multiple resistant bacteria is increased day by day and pose a major threat to public health. Therefore, novel antimicrobial strategies are needed to combat the antimicrobial resistance. To reduce adverse effects, nanoparticles may be a preferable option for treating bacterial infections at very low concentrations. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":19844,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan BioMedical Journal","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78832899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The study was carried out in Mayo Hospital. A total of 100 patients were included in this study from 1st November 2019 to 31st January 2020.

All are G protein-coupled receptors but here we are only highlighting the different roles of distantly related receptors of the main taste bud system.

The T2R is involved mainly in taste sensation. We also see protein-protein interaction using string database. Conclusions: The basic repertoire of T2R genes seems to be larger for most of the species including mouse and gene duplication still plays a role in lineage-specific increases in diversity.
