Characterization and Comparative Analysis of the Genes Encoding<i>Haemophilus parasuis</i>Outer Membrane Proteins P2 and P5

25 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

Haemophilus parasuis is a swine pathogen of significant industry concern, but little is known about how the organism causes disease. A related human pathogen, Haemophilus influenzae, has been better studied, and many of its virulence factors have been identified.
