STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISD PROTEIN-BASED ANTI-INFECTIVES

摘要

Iron-regulated surface determinant proteins IsdA, IsdB and IsdC from Staphylococcus aureus, as well as antibodies, antisense nucleic acids and siRNA specific to IsdA, IsdB or IsdC are used as vaccines and in method for treating or preventing a disease or condition associated with S. aureus infections Screening assays for identifying agents that inhibit or interfere with the expression level and/or function of IsdA, IsdB or IsdC are also described.
