Abstract
The invention is concerned with a vaccine composition comprising an effective amount of an isolated protein derived from Staphylococcal aureus having the ability to bind fibronectin. The protein has a molecular weight of 165,000 daltons and optionally also contains a protein having a molecular weight of 87,000 daltons. The protein has the ability to elicit antibody production and a level of protein to elicit antibody production. The level of protein is sufficient to produce protection upon challenge with a Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain in a mammal, particularly a ruminant, by forming antibodies against the Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain.
