ABSTRACT:
A polypeptide, designated as “Streptococcus uberisAdhesion Molecule” (SUAM), and fragments of SUAM, prevent internalization and adherence ofStreptococcus uberisand other streptococcal pathogens to cells. The SUAM polypeptide and fragments may be used diagnostically and therapeutically. Nucleic acid sequences encoding the SUAM polypeptide and fragments are included in the invention.
