Polypeptides from the Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and uses thereof in treating and detecting GBS disease or infection

摘要

Disclosed is a polypeptide from the Group B streptococcus (GBS) comprising of at least 70 amino acids of SEQ ID NO:20906. Further described are fusion proteins comprising the said protein and at least 7 amino acids from the polypeptide sequences (even numbers) from the group of SEQ ID NO: 2-22740. The said proteins are used for the treatment of GBS infection and/or disease, generating antibodies and also in vaccines. Also disclosed is the use of the nucleotide sequences encoding for the above polypeptides and use as therapeutics (odd numbers 1-22740).
