Identification of genes implicated in the virulence of streptococcus agalactiae

摘要

Group B streptococcus is an important cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in many part of the world. The invention is a method of identification of novel targets for inhibitors preventing septicemic dissemination of Streptococcus agalactiae, a model of Gram positive bacteria, in order to treat bacterial infections using these virulence determinant.
