An ancestral mutation enhancing the fitness and increasing the virulence of Haemophilus influenzae type b.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Jul 1993

Kroll J S, Moxon E R, Loynds B M

Abstract excerpt

Capsulate Haemophilus influenzae is a major cause of septicemia and meningitis in children. Virtually all invasive strains have a type b polysaccharide capsule and belong to division I of the two phylogenetic divisions into which the H. influenzae population segregates. In this study 18 isolates, collected from all over the world and representative of the whole population of division I type b strains, have been...
