Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in Invasive Group B Streptococcal Isolates (2009)

Mei L. Castor, Cynthia G. Whitney, Kathryn Como-Sabetti, Richard R. Facklam, Patricia Ferrieri, Joanne M. Bartkus, ...

Antibiotics are used for both group B streptococcal (GBS) prevention and treatment. Active population-based surveillance for invasive GBS disease was conducted in four states during...

Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in Invasive Group B Streptococcal Isolates (2008)

Mei L. Castor, Cynthia G. Whitney, Kathryn Como-Sabetti, Richard R. Facklam, Patricia Ferrieri, Joanne M. Bartkus, ...

Antibiotics are used for both group B streptococcal (GBS) prevention and treatment. Active population-based surveillance for invasive GBS disease was conducted in four states during 1996–2003. Of...

Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of Hypervariable Junctions of Haemophilus influenzae Pilus Gene Clusters

Read, Timothy D., Satola, Sarah W., Farley, Monica M.

Haemophilus influenzae pili are surface structures that promote attachment to human epithelial cells. The five genes that encode pili, hifABCDE, are found inserted in genomes either between pmbA and...

Copy Number of Pilus Gene Clusters in Haemophilus influenzae and Variation in the hifE Pilin Gene

Read, Timothy D., Satola, Sarah W., Opdyke, Jason A., Farley, Monica M.

Brazilian purpuric fever (BPF)-associated Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius strain F3031 contains two identical copies of a five gene cluster (hifA to hifE) encoding pili similar to...

Complete Sequence of the cap Locus of Haemophilus influenzae Serotype b and Nonencapsulated b Capsule-Negative Variants

Satola, Sarah W., Schirmer, Patricia L., Farley, Monica M.

The complete capsule (cap) loci from three Haemophilus influenzae strains, one serotype b (Hib) and two nonencapsulated b capsule-negative variants, were sequenced. Two new open reading frames, hcsA...

Genetic Analysis of the Capsule Locus of Haemophilus influenzae Serotype f

Satola, Sarah W., Schirmer, Patricia L., Farley, Monica M.

A 19-kb DNA region containing genes involved in the biosynthesis of the capsule of Haemophilus influenzae serotype f (Hif) has been cloned and characterized. The Hif cap locus organization is typical...

Characterization of Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity of Invasive Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae

Erwin, Alice L., Nelson, Kevin L., Mhlanga-Mutangadura, Tendai, Bonthuis, Paul J., Geelhood, Jennifer L., Morlin, Gregory, ...

The ability of unencapsulated (nontypeable) Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) to cause systemic disease in healthy children has been recognized only in the past decade. To determine the extent of...

Capsule Gene Analysis of Invasive Haemophilus influenzae: Accuracy of Serotyping and Prevalence of IS1016 among Nontypeable Isolates▿

Satola, Sarah W., Collins, Julie T., Napier, Ruth, Farley, Monica M.

We evaluated the accuracy of serologic capsule typing by analyzing capsule genes and related markers among invasive Haemophilus influenzae isolates before and after the introduction of H. influenzae...
