Abstract excerpt
The bacteriocin haemocin (HMC) is produced by most type b strains of Haemophilus influenzae, including strains determined to be genetically diverse, and is toxic to virtually all non-type b strains of H. influenzae, both encapsulated and non-encapsulated. Examination of the deduced amino acid seq...
