STREPTOCOCCAL HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS OF THE HSP60 FAMILY

摘要

Methods and compositions comprising isolated nucleic acid molecules specific to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as vector constructs and isolated polypeptides specific to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes are provided. Such compositions and methods are useful for the diagnosis of Streptococcal infection and for generating an immune response to Streptococcal bacteria.
