The antibodies may be generated from surface proteins that have been isolated on the basis of characteristics that may be common betweenand coagulase-negative staphylococci, and these recombinant surface proteins are used to generate the antibodies of the invention. There is also provided vaccines and methods which utilize these proteins and antibodies for the treatment or protection against a wide variety of staphylococcal infections.
