Comparative genomic analysis reveals distinct genotypic features of the emerging pathogen Haemophilus influenzae type f.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The incidence of invasive disease caused by encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae type f (Hif) has increased in the post-H. influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine era. We previously annotated the first complete Hif genome from a clinical isolate (KR494) that caused septic shock and necrotizing myositis. Here, the full genome of Hif KR494 was compared to sequenced reference strains Hib 10810, capsule type d...
