摘要:
The present invention provides vaccine compositions comprising OmpA, or antigenic fragments thereof, and related methods of active immunization against A. baumannii infection. The invention also provides antibodies and antigen-binding parts thereof that specifically bind to OmpA, and related methods of passive immunization against A. baumannii infection. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful for preventing or treating A. baumannii infections, including those caused by strains resistant to carbapenems and all other antibiotics except colistin or tigecycline, also referred to as extreme drug resistant (XDR) A. baumannii infections, and those resistant to every FDA approved antibiotic, also referred to as pan-drug resistant (PDR) A. baumannii infections.
摘要:
The present invention provides antigenic polypeptides expressed during an infection by a pathogenic organism, such as Acinetobacter and compositions comprising these polypeptides. The invention further provides compositions for use in treating, preventing or detecting a bacterial infection, in particular vaccine compositions using the antigenic polypeptides. The invention further provides antibodies directed to said antigenic polypeptides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to extracellular matrix proteins of Moraxella catarrhalis and their ability to interact with epithelial cells via cellassociated fibronectin and laminin, and also to their ability to inhibit the complement system. These extracellular proteins are useful in the preparation of vaccines. The present invention provides peptides interacting with the fibronectin, laminin and complement system.

摘要:
This invention provides a means for providing or enhancing nonspecific adhesive property and/or autoagglutinating property for microorganisms with weak or without nonspecific adhesive property or autoagglutinating property. This invention relates to a method for providing or enhancing nonspecific adhesive property and/or autoagglutinating property for a target microorganism, comprising introducing into the target microorganism a DNA encoding autotransporter adhesin from a microorganism having nonspecific adhesive property.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polypeptides of Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis which may be useful for prophylaxis, diagnosis and/or therapy purposes.
摘要:
Purified and isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided which encode transferrin receptor proteins of Moraxella, such as M. catarrhalis or a fragment or an analog of the transferrin receptor protein. The nucleic acid sequence may be used to produce recombinant transferrin receptor proteins Tbp1 and Tbp2 of the strain of Moraxella free of other proteins of the Moraxella strain for purposes of diagnostics and medical treatment. Furthermore, the nucleic acid molecule may be used in the diagnosis of infection.
摘要:
The invention provides BASB117 polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding BASB117 polypeptides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques. Also provided are diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic uses.
