Cloning of the gene coding for Staphylococcus hyicus exfoliative toxin B and its expression in Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: The Staphylococcus hyicus exfoliative toxin B (SHETB) gene was cloned into pUC118 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence of the SHETB gene consists of a coding region of 804 bp specifying a polypeptide of 268 amino acid residues, which included a putative 20-residue signal sequence.
