MS11 gene product encoding for a phosphoglycerate kinase, and a purine nucleoside phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase proteins from Group B streprococcus and their use in treating bacterial infection

A peptide encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, or a homologue having greater than 70% sequence similarity is described. The peptide sequence can be the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4 and can be obtained from Group B streptococcus. The peptide or polynucleotide can be used in a me...

Zusammenfassung:A peptide encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, or a homologue having greater than 70% sequence similarity is described. The peptide sequence can be the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4 and can be obtained from Group B streptococcus. The peptide or polynucleotide can be used in a medicament for the treatment of bacterial infections, preferably when the infection is a focal or urinary tract infection. Also described are antibodies and hosts transformed with the peptide.
