ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the field of the diagnosis of and vaccination against Streptococcal infections, and to the detection of virulence markers of Streptococci. The invention discloses a method for modulating virulence of aStreptococcuscomprising modifying a genomic fragment of theStreptococcus, wherein the genomic fragment comprises at least a functional part of a fragment identifiable by hybridization inStreptococcus suisto a nucleic acid or fragment thereof.
