Epitope-specific immunity against Staphylococcus aureus coproporphyrinogen III oxidase
Abstract Staphylococcus aureus represents a serious infectious threat to global public health and a vaccine against S. aureus represents an unmet medical need. We here characterise two S. aureus vaccine candidates, coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CgoX) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI), which ful...
