STREPTOCOCCUS AGALACTIAE GENOME SEQUENCE, USE FOR DEVELOPING VACCINES, DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS, AND FOR IDENTIFYING THERAPEUTIC TARGETS

摘要

The invention concerns the genome sequence and nucleotide sequences coding for Streptococcus agalactiae polypeptides, such as cellular envelope polypeptides, or secreted or specific polypeptides, or polypeptides involved in the metabolism and the replication process, as well as vectors or cells comprising said sequences. The invention also concerns the use thereof for developing vaccines, diagnostic tools, DNA chips and for identifying therapeutic targets.
