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