Use of bexB To Detect the Capsule Locus in Haemophilus influenzae

28 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

Haemophilus influenzae strains are classified as typeable or nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHI) based upon the presence or absence of capsule. In addition to serotyping, which is subject to false-positive results, typeable strains can be identified through the detection of the capsular export gene bexA and one of six capsule-specific genes, but this method is resource intensive, especially in characterizing large...
