The present invention relates to a surface exposed protein (protein E; pE), a virulence factor, which can be detected in Haemophilus influenzae, having an amino acid sequence as described in SEQ ID NO 1, an immunogenic fragment of said surface exposed protein, and a recombinant immunogenic protein (pE(A)) or truncated variants thereof based on said surface exposed protein. Nucleic acid sequences, vaccines, plasmids and phages, non human hosts, recombinant nucleic acid sequences, fusion proteins and fusion products are also described. A method of producing the said protein or truncated fragments thereof recombinantly is also disclosed.

The invention relates to compositions comprising a nucleic acid that encodes a peptide or a peptide that induces an immune response in an animal or a mammal that is protective against infection by one or more pathogens. In addition, the invention relates to vaccines comprising compositions and to method for treating and preventing an infection in animals and mammals such as humans.

Binding agents able to disrupt bacterial biofilms of diverse origin are described, including monoclonal antibodies secreted by human B lymphocytes. Methods to prevent formation of or to dissolve biofilms with these binding agents are also described. Immunogens for eliciting antibodies to disrupt biofilms are also described.

The present disclosure relates generally to polypeptides, which may be used of the treatment of neurological diseases or disorders.
