Abstract excerpt
Invasive infections caused by non-type b encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae have increased in frequency in the last decade. This change prompted us to characterize the genetic relationships of 48 recently isolated invasive H. influenzae type a (Hia), e (Hie), and f (Hif) strains by comparison of restriction digest patterns (RDPs). Recent Hia isolates exhibited moderate genetic diversity, with the majority...
