Phenotypic variation in Haemophilus influenzae: the interrelationship of colony opacity, capsule and lipopolysaccharide.

Microbial pathogenesis - 1 Feb 1995

Roche R J, Moxon E R

Abstract excerpt

H. influenzae type b strains show phase variation between opaque (O) and translucent (T) colony phenotypes. These phenotypic differences have been related to differences in virulence for infant rats. This study shows that the switch between O and T colony phenotypes is associated with variation in the amount of cell-associated capsule in the serotype b strains Rd:b+:01, RM7004 and Eagan. O colonies comprised...
