ArcA-regulated glycosyltransferase lic2B promotes complement evasion and pathogenesis of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae.
Signaling mechanisms used by Haemophilus influenzae to adapt to conditions it encounters during stages of infection and pathogenesis are not well understood. The ArcAB two-component signal transduction system controls gene expression in response to respiratory conditions of growth and contributes to resistance to bactericidal effects of serum and to bloodstream infection by H. influenzae. We sh...
متن کاملShielding of a Lipooligosaccharide IgM Epitope Allows Evasion of Neutrophil-Mediated Killing of an Invasive Strain of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is a frequent cause of noninvasive mucosal inflammatory diseases but may also cause invasive diseases, such as sepsis and meningitis, especially in children and the elderly. Infection by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is characterized by recruitment of neutrophilic granulocytes. Despite the presence of a large number of neutrophils, infections with nontype...
متن کاملVaccine Candidates against Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae: a Review
Nonencapsulated, nontypeable Hemophilus influenzae (NTHi) remains an important cause of acute otitis and respiratory diseases in children and adults. NTHi bacteria are one of the major causes of respiratory tract infections, including acute otitis media, cystic fibrosis, and community-acquired pneumonia among children, especially in developing countries. The bacteria can also cause chronic dise...

متن کاملCloning of conserved regions of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae hmw1 core binding domain
Colonization of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) in nasopharynx causes respiratory tract disease. In 80% of clinical isolates, HMW proteins are the major adhesions and induce protective antibodies in the hosts. Therefore, it can be used as a vaccine candidate. The aim of this study is designing and cloning of the conserved regions of NTHi hmw1 core binding domain.In this study, the sta...
