Transcriptome signature in young children with acute otitis media due to non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae.
Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) causes acute otitis media (AOM) in young children. In our recent paper in Microbes and Infection we described the transcriptome signature elicited from PBMCs at onset of AOM caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. In the current study we found very different results with NTHi AOM infections; 5.1% of 29 187 genes were differentially regulated by more...
متن کاملNon-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae as primary causes of acute otitis media in colombian children: a prospective study
BACKGROUND Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most frequently encountered bacterial infections in children aged < 5 years; Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) are historically identified as primary AOM causes. Nevertheless, recent data on bacterial pathogens causing AOM in Latin America are limited. This prospective study aimed to identify...
متن کاملNon typable-Haemophilus influenzae biofilm formation and acute otitis media
BACKGROUND Non-typable Haemophilus influenzae (NT-Hi) infection is frequently associated with acute otitis media (AOM) treatment failure, recurrence or chronic otitis media. Persistence of otopathogens in a biofilm-structured community was implicated in these situations. Here, we compared biofilm production by H. influenzae strains obtained by culture of middle ear fluid (MEF) from children wit...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae.
Selected clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were tested for their susceptibility to seven antibiotics by a microtiter broth dilution and an agar diffusion method. Eleven of 40 strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, the drug of choice, by both methods. All the strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol, and all but one were susceptible to tetracycline. Of the other four an...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationship of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae isolated in Malaysia.
The epidemiology of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) remains poorly understood. We therefore sought to determine the genetic relationship of 25 NTHi isolated from various states in Malaysia using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The majority of isolates were obtained from sputum. There were 24 novel sequence types (STs). Eight isolates were single-locus variants, the remainder being...
