Microbiological Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Haemophilus Influenzae Isolates from a Tertiary Care Centre in South India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Haemophilus are fastidious Gram negative bacilli, which require factor X (hemin), factor V (NAD), or both for their growth. Haemophilus influenzae is the type species, and is considered to be the most pathogenic.

Non-typeable Haemophilus Influenzae detection in the lower airways of patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2018
Background Chronic airway inflammation and hypersensitivity to bacterial infection may contribute to lung cancer pathogenesis. Previous studies have demonstrated that nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is the most common colonizing bacteria in the
