Loss of capsule expression by Haemophilus influenzae type b results in enhanced adherence to and invasion of human cells.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 1991

St Geme J W, Falkow S

Abstract excerpt

Haemophilus influenzae type b is a common cause of systemic bacterial disease in children, and the serotype b capsule is a major determinant of virulence. Nevertheless, as a consequence of the genetic configuration of the capb locus, type b strains become capsule deficient at a high frequency. To investigate the potential biological relevance of the predisposition to capsule loss, we compared the adherent and...
