Abstract excerpt
The number of the nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (HiN) organisms that adhered to the primary mouse fetal lung cells was significantly more than type b Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) organisms. The average number of HiN organisms adherent to host cells was 2,291/100 host cells (range, 1,654-3,182), but that of Hib was markedly reduced to 147/100 host cells (range, 102-238). In this case, P value was less than...
