Abstract excerpt
Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen of the human airway and is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. No vaccine currently exists in part due to the incredible diversity and extreme variability exhibited both genetically and phenotypically between NTHi strains. For a vaccine to be successful, selection of appropriate antigens is key. Antigens need...
