Patent Searching and Data


Title:
Methods and compositions for inhibiting bacterial growth
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998014567
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of bacteriology. More particularly, it concerns methods and compositions for the treatment of bacterial infection employing oligonucleotides targeted to the Shine-Dalgarno region of prokaryotes to inhibit bacterial protein expression and hence inhibit bacterial infection.
