Antagonists against such FABI and their use as a therapeutic to treat infections, such asstaphylococcal infections are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to the presence of FABI nucleic acid sequences and the polypeptides in a host. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting polynucleotides encoding FABI and for detecting the polypeptide in a host.
