ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to nucleic acids coding for adhesion factors of group Bstreptococcus, adhesion factors of group Bstreptococcusand uses thereof. More particularly, the present invention is related to a polypeptide being such adhesion factors and comprising an amino acid sequence, whereby the amino acid sequence is selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NO 11 to SEQ ID NO 20, and the use of such polypeptide for the manufacture of a vaccine.
