Abstract excerpt
The molecular diversity of protein D of nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated from persistently infected patients with chronic bronchitis was studied by sequencing the hpd gene of four independently obtained isolates. The nucleotide (nt) sequences of the hpd genes of two strains...
