  • Collagen-binding proteins from
    Patent number: 7169902
    Abstract: Isolated proteins, designated Cpa1 and Cpa49, and their corresponding amino acid and nucleic acid sequences are provided which are useful in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by group A streptococcal bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes. These proteins have been observed to bind to collagen, and thus methods are provided, such as by administration of the proteins or antibodies generated thereto, whereby streptococcal binding of collagen can be inhibited, and streptococcal infection can be greatly reduced. In addition, medical instruments can be treated using the collagen-binding proteins of the invention in order to reduce or eliminate the possibility of their becoming infected or further spreading the infection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 2004
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2007
    Inventor: Andreas Podbielski

  • Lmb gene of Streptococcus agalactiae
    Patent number: 6406883
    Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides coding for the mature Lmb streptococcal adhesion mediator polypeptides. The polynucleotides were obtained from a genomic library obtained from Group B Streptococcus strain R268.
