Increased level of intragenomic 16S rRNA gene heterogeneity in commensal strains closely related to Haemophilus influenzae.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strains closely related to, but excluded from, Haemophilus influenzae was investigated and a conspicuously high number of polymorphic nucleotide positions due to intragenomic 16S rRNA gene heterogeneity was observed. The average frequency of 16S rRNA gene polymorphic nucleotide positions in 31 variant strains was 7.0×10(-3), which is approximately ten times the level observed in...
