Application of genomics and proteomics to camel Streptococcus agalactiae: development of vaccines and diagnostics to support camel milk marketing through improved control of mastitis

Copy Link
Coordinating organisation: International Livestock Research Institute
Description: Goal:
To apply genome sequencing and proteomics to generate data that will underpin future
development of novel control methods for mastitis in camels, caused by Streptoccocus
agalactiae
Outputs:
- An annotated genome sequence derived from a camel S. agalactiae isolate that appears to
be closely related to human isolates according to both phenotype in culture and MLST
analysis of the genotype genotype
- Candidate S. agalactiae antigens for application as vaccines and diagnostics
