Haemophilus influenzae biotype VIII.

چکیده
Six Haemophilus influenzae strains could not be classified as biotypes I through VII. The strains were indole, urease, and ornithine decarboxylase negative. We propose that they be classified as biotype VIII, a previously unreported biotype.

Comparison of outer membrane protein and biochemical profiles of Haemophilus aegyptius and Haemophilus influenzae biotype III.
Haemophilus aegyptius and Haemophilus influenzae biotype III are morphologically and biochemically similar; however, their outer membrane protein (Sarkosyl insoluble) profiles are distinct. Of 18 strains of H. aegyptius examined, 15 had a type 1 protein profile, and 3 had a type 2 profile, whereas the 5 strains of H. influenzae biotype III examined had three other protein profile types. All Hae...
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 کاملNontypeable Haemophilus influenzae as a cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Haemophilus influenzae rarely causes spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. We describe a typical case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in which the causative organism was identified as nontypeable H. influenzae, biotype III. Infection progressed despite the presence of adequate serum bactericidal antibody, probably due to the absence of complement in ascites fluid.
متن کاملNovel method of biotyping Haemophilus influenzae that uses API 20e.
One hundred Haemophilus influenzae isolates from various body sites were biotyped by conventional methods and by the API 20E system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). By using a hemin- and a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-enriched saline solution as the inoculating fluid for the API 20E, a 100% correlation of results was obtained between the two methods. Ninety percent of the blood and ce...
متن کاملGenetic identification of cryptic genospecies of Haemophilus causing urogenital and neonatal infections by PCR using specific primers targeting genes coding for 16S rRNA.
Previous genetic analysis of Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated from genital and neonatal infections identified a group of biotype IV that constitutes a cryptic genospecies only distantly related to H. influenzae and H. Haemolyticus. Small-subunit rRNA genes of two representative strains of this genital Haemophilus genospecies (strains 16N and 2406) were sequenced. The analysis indicated t...
