STREPTOCOCCAL HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS OF THE HSP60 FAMILY

摘要

Methods and compositions comprising isolated nucleic acid molecules specificto Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as vectorconstructs and isolated polypeptides specific to Streptococcus pneumoniae andStreptococcus pyogenes are provided. Such compositions and methods are usefulfor the diagnosis of Streptococcal infection and for generating an immuneresponse to Streptococcal bacteria.
