Characterization of Serotypes and Molecular Drug Resistance Patterns of Haemophilus influenzae in Kunming Children

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2023
The present study aimed to determine the capsular serotype distribution and antimicrobial drug resistance patterns of Haemophilus influenzae from children in the Kunming region of China. This information could guide policymakers in clinical treatment. In

NTHi killing activity is reduced in COPD patients and is associated with a differential microbiome

Respiratory Research
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease characterized by airway obstruction and inflammation. Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) lung infections are common in COPD, promoting frequent exacerbations and accelerated ...

Generation and Screening of a Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae Tn-seq Mutant Library

Bio-Protocol, 2014
The genome-wide screen Tn-seq (van Opijnen et al., 2009) is very valuable tools to identify bacterial genes with a conditionally essential function, for instance genes involved in bacterial virulence.
