Abstract

This chapter describes a protocol for the separation of different cell fractions from Streptococcus pyogenes and sample preparation for analysis by mass spectrometry. The presented approach can be used for the analysis of all subcellular proteomes from S. pyogenes and enables identification of drug or vaccine targets within a certain cellular fraction. Here, proteins integral to the plasma membrane are of particular interest for the development of new antimicrobial therapies.
