Abstract excerpt
The present study describes the carriage patterns and genetic variability of Moraxella catarrhalis strains isolated from children living in different countries. Moraxella catarrhalis is genetically heterogeneous, but little is known about its geographic distribution and phenotypic and genetic diversity in warm-climate countries. A collection of 99 isolates from 30 Brazilian, 19 Angolan and 50 Dutch healthy...
