Serial Isolates of Persistent Haemophilus influenzae in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Express Diminishing Quantities of the HMW1 and HMW2 Adhesins

5 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the lower respiratory tract is commonly colonized by bacterial pathogens, including nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae. The H. influenzae HMW1 and HMW2 adhesins are homologous proteins that promote bacterial adherence to respiratory epithelium and are the predominant targets of the host immune response. These adhesins undergo graded phase variation,...
