A protein from Group Bis shown to be an outer surface protein and is a useful target for antimicrobial therapy.

Genes and proteins, and their use

According to the present invention, a series of genes are identified in Group B Streptococcus, the products of which may be associated with the outer surface of the organism. The genes, or functional fragments thereof, may be useful in the preparation of therapeutics, e.g. vaccines to immunize a patient against microbial infection.

According to the present invention, a series of genes are identified in Group B, the products of which may be located on the outer surface of the organism. The genes, or functional fragments thereof, may be useful in the preparation of therapeutics, e.g. vaccines for the immunization of a patient against microbial infection.

NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase for therapeutic use

According to the present invention, a series of genes are identified in Group B Streptococcus, the products of which may be associated with the outer surface of the organism. The genes, or functional fragments thereof, may be useful in the preparation of therapeutics, e.g. vacaccines to immunize a patient against microbial infection.
