No corresponding DNA sequence was identified in S.agalactiae.

[0385] The protein has homology with the following sequences in the GENPEPT database:

Abstract

The invention provides proteins from group B streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) and group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), including amino acid sequences and the corresponding nucleotide sequences. Data are given to show that the proteins are useful antigens for vaccines, immunogenic compositions, and/or diagnostics. The proteins are also targets for antibiotics.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of Ser. No. 10 / 415,182 filed Apr. 28, 2003. Ser. No. 10 / 415,182 is a National Stage application of PCT application PCT / GB01 / 04789, which was filed Oct. 29, 2001 and published in English under PCT Article 21(2) on May 2, 2002. PCT / GB01 / 04789 claims the benefit of Ser. No. GB0026333.5 filed Oct. 27, 2000, Ser. No. GB0028727.6 filed Nov. 24, 2000, and Ser. No. GB0105640.7 filed Mar. 7, 2001. Each of these applications and all the other documents cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entireties. [0002] This application incorporates by reference the contents of each of two duplicate CD-ROMS which contain an identical 21.0 MB file labeled “PP016620.0025 sequence listing.txt,” which is the sequence listing for this application. The CD-ROMs were created on Mar. 20, 2006.TECHNICAL FIELD [0003] This invention relates to nucleic acid and proteins from the bacteria Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) and Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS).
