An outer surface protein MS10 from Group B streptococcus coding for a non-phosphorylating, NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NPGAP-3-DH)

摘要

A medicament comprises a peptide encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11, or a homologue having greater than 70% sequence similarity. The peptide sequence can be the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 and can be obtained from Group B streptococcus. The medicament can be used in the treatment of bacterial infections, preferably when the infection is a focal infection. Also described is a host transformed with the peptide.
