The invention features probiotic bacteria expressing Clostridium difficile SlpA, or fragment thereof, and its use for the treatment or prevention of Clostridium difficile infection and gut colonization.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated polypeptide comprising, from the amino-terminus to the carboxy-terminus, a bacterial secretion signal, a C. difficile SlpA variable domain, and a Lactobacillus SlpA cell wall binding domain having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:2. 2. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the SlpA variable domain has the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1. 3. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the bacterial secretion signal is a Lactococcus or Lactobacillus secretion signal. 4. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the bacterial secretion signal has the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 3. 5. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 , having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 4. 6. An isolated polypeptide comprising, from the amino-terminus to the carboxy-terminus, a bacterial secretion signal having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 3, a C. difficile SlpA variable domain, and a Lactobacillus SlpA cell wall binding domain. 7. The isolated polypeptide of claim 6 , wherein the SlpA variable domain has the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1. 8. The isolated polypeptide of claim 6 , wherein the SlpA cell wall binding domain is a Lactobacillus acidophilus or Lactobacillus casei SlpA cell wall binding domain. 9. The isolated polypeptide of claim 6 , wherein the Lactobacillus SlpA cell wall binding domain has the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 2. 10. The isolated polypeptide of claim 6 , having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 4. 11. An isolated polypeptide comprising, from the amino-terminus to the carboxy-terminus, a bacterial secretion signal, a C. difficile SlpA variable domain, and a Lactobacillus SlpA cell wall binding domain, wherein the isolated polypeptide has the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 4. 12. The isolated polypeptide of claim 3 , wherein the bacterial secretion signal is a Lactobacillus acidophilus or Lactobacillus casei secretion signal.
