Molecular Signatures of Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae Lung Adaptation in Pediatric Chronic Lung Disease

Abstract excerpt

Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), an opportunistic pathogen of the upper airways of healthy children, can infect the lower airways, driving chronic lung disease. However, the molecular basis underpinning NTHi transition from a commensal to a pathogen is not clearly understood. Here, we performed comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses of 12 paired, isogenic NTHi strains, isolated from the...
