Construction of a novel shuttle vector for use in Haemophilus influenzae and H. parainfluenzae
Haemophilus influenzae is an important human pathogen. A number of complete genome sequences of various haemophili are available; however, functional studies have been limited by the lack of an effective shuttle vector which functions in all strains. Here, we have constructed a shuttle vector, pEJ6, which transfers genes between Escherichia coli and H. influenzae and H. parainfluenzae. The vect...
متن کاملDistribution of biotypes of Haemophilus influenzae and H parainfluenzae in patients with cystic fibrosis.
One hundred and eighty eight isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and 187 isolates of H parainfluenzae from patients with cystic fibrosis, patients with respiratory infections but without cystic fibrosis, and patients with neither cystic fibrosis nor respiratory infections were biotyped. Biotype I of H influenzae were found significantly more often in patients with cystic fibrosis compared with t...
متن کاملComparison of three commercial test systems for biotyping Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
The biotypes of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae isolates were determined with three commercially available biochemical test kits: the IDS RapID NH system, the Neisseria-Haemophilus identification test (NHI card), and the API NH strip. The API NH strip performed best, correctly classifying the biotypes of 371 of 380 (97.6%) different challenge strains.
متن کاملComparative in vitro activity of imipenem against Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
A microdilution broth method was used to test 77 clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae, including beta-lactamase-positive and -negative strains, for susceptibility to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and imipenem. Except for ampicillin against beta-lactamase-producing strains (MIC for 90% of strains [MIC90], greater than or equal to 128 micrograms/ml), all three...
متن کاملRapid Biotyping of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae with PathoTec Strips and Spot Biochemical Tests BILLIE
PathoTec strips and spot biochemical tests were evaluated for the ability to biotype Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae. Indole, urease, and ornithine decarboxylase reactions were tested. The results of PathoTec strips compared favorably with those conventional methods; the percent agreements were as follows: indole, 100; urease, 99.5; and ornithine, 97.5. Spot tests were sim...
