Effect of amplification of the Cap b locus on complement-mediated bacteriolysis and opsonization of type b Haemophilus influenzae

1 Nov 1996

Abstract excerpt

Amplification of the Cap b locus of Haemophilus influenzae occurs frequently in clinical isolates and has been proposed to be a mechanism by which this organism evades host defense. To determine if amplification of this locus affected complement fixation, in vitro studies to determine complement-mediated bacteriolysis and complement-mediated opsonization of an isogenic set of organisms containing 2, 3, and 4...
