Rapid biotyping of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae with PathoTec strips and spot biochemical tests.
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, 95.5. Spot tests were sim...

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 کاملMethylase activities from Haemophilus influenzae that protect Haemophilus parainfluenzae transforming deoxyribonucleic acid from inactivation by Haemophilus influenzae endonuclease R.
Specific methylases that have the properties of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) modification enzymes have been isolated from Haemophilus influenzae strain Rd. Two activities ((Methylase IIa and methylase III) were found to protect transforming DNA of H. parainfluenzae from the action of H. influenzae restriction enzymes. To determine the specificty of the protection, a procedure based on biological...
متن کاملImmunogenicity and Efficacy of Different Haemophilus influenzae type b Vaccines
Haemophilus influenzae, a major cause of meningitis in young children leading to death and other neurological sequelae. The disease leaves 15 to 35% of the survivors with permanent disabilities, such as, mental retardation or deafness. Despite the availability of new and more powerful antibiotics children with Hib meningitis still suffer from high mortality or morbidity. The emergence of multir...
