Abstract excerpt
In the H. influenzae type b (Hib) genome, two putative adhesin B genes, HI0119 and HI0362, have been identified on the basis of homology to the adhesin B (FimA) of Streptococcus parasanguis. We expressed and characterized one of them, HI0119, from a non-typeable H. influenzae strain (NTHI). This...
