Analysis of Genetic Relatedness of <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> Isolates by Multilocus Sequence Typing
8 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
The gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae is a human-restricted commensal of the nasopharynx that can also be associated with disease. The majority of H. influenzae respiratory isolates lack the genes for capsule production and are nontypeable (NTHI). Whereas encapsulated strains are known to belong to serotype-specific phylogenetic groups, the structure of the NTHI population has not been previously...
