three strains of nontypeable haemophilus influenzae namely nthi-i , nthi-ii and nthi-iii were isolated from the sputum of patients with bronchitis and identified by biochemical, serological and electron microscopy. the polypeptide patterns of isolates were compared and found to have similar sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) polypeptide patterns, although some...

BACKGROUND Optimal antibiotic treatment strategies of Haemophilus infections are still needed. Therefore, 30-day case fatality rate (CFR) of Haemophilus bacteremia and efficacy of various antibiotic treatment regimes were studied. METHODS All episodes of Haemophilus bacteremia in the former Copenhagen County during the period 2000-9 were included in the study. Clinical and biochemical finding...
