Abstract
A majority ofandclinical isolates fall into two groups and three groups, respectively. Distinct antigens are associate with each of the five groups. Theantigens are readily obtained from strains ofand, and can elicit production of protective antibodies. Accordingly, the antigens are useful for vaccines which protect against infection by clinically significant (pathogenic)isolates. The antigens and antibodies generated to the antigens are also useful in diagnostic assays.
