In this paper, we describe the ability of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) to
coexist with the human host and the devastating results associated with disruption of the …

A set of broad-range PCR primers for the 16S rRNA gene in bacteria were tested, along with
three series of oligonucleotide probes to detect the PCR product. The first series of probes is …

The oropharyngeal carriage of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was studied among 725
healthy 3-year-old children who had or had not been immunized with an Hib conjugate …

Abstract Background: The 1.83 Megabase (Mb) sequence of the Haemophilus influenzae
chromosome, the first completed genome sequence of a cellular life form, has been recently …

Ocular infections can be medical emergencies that result in permanent visual impairment or
blindness and loss of quality of life. Bacteria are a major cause of ocular infections. Effective …

A collection of 242 strains of Haemophilus influenzae, including 65 nontypable
(unencapsulated) isolates and 177 encapsulated serotype b isolates recovered largely from …

The numbers of potentially pathogenic microorganisms that have been isolated from
stranded cetaceans in the last three decades underscore the urgent need for methods of …

We performed a population-based case-control study of risk factors for primary invasive
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease in metropolitan Atianta from July 1, 1983 …

We performed this study to determine the 16S rRNA sequences of the type strains of
Streptococcus adjacens and Streptococcus defectivus and to calculate the phylogenetic …

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans strains with enhanced levels of production of
leukotoxin are characterized by a 530-bp deletion from the promoter region of the leukotoxin …
