Findings like these are fantastic in that it may pave a way for yet further therapies with other kinds of infections, if you can simply locate or construct the body to produce proteins that suppress the infection enough for the immune system to easily destroy.
I mean, imagine a world where instead of antibiotics you can target infections by making the body produce more of a certain kind of protein? Rather futuristic at present, but a possible future.
