Characterization of Encapsulated and Noncapsulated <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> and Determination of Phylogenetic Relationships by Multilocus Sequence Typing
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme has been developed for the unambiguous characterization of encapsulated and noncapsulated Haemophilus influenzae isolates. The sequences of internal fragments of seven housekeeping genes were determined for 131 isolates, comprising a diverse set of 104 serotype a, b, c, d, e, and f isolates and 27 noncapsulated isolates. Many of the encapsulated isolates had previously...
