(57) [Summary]nM. A purified and isolated nucleic acid encoding a Tbp2 protein of S. catarrhalis strain M35, 3 and LES1 is provided. This nucleic acid sequence can be used to produce a recombinant Tbp2 protein of the Moraxella strain, free of other proteins of the Moraxella strain, for diagnostic and medical applications. Furthermore, the nucleic acid molecule can be used for diagnosis of infection. |
