Molecular surveillance of true nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae: an evaluation of PCR screening assays.

Molecular surveillance of true nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae: an evaluation of PCR screening assays.

BACKGROUND: Unambiguous identification of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is not possible by conventional microbiology. Molecular characterisation of phenotypically defined NTHi isolates suggests that up to 40% are Haemophilus haemolyticus (Hh); however, the genetic similarity of NTHi and...
