Competing Interests
This study included identifying bacterial proteins that could be useful for a vaccine. Part of this project was funded by Novartis Animal Vaccines. Several of the proteins that were identified are being patented by Spirogene Pty, a Murdoch University spin-out company. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
