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...
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...

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...
Satola, Sarah W., Napier, Brooke, Farley, Monica M.
A subset of invasive nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) strains has evidence of IS1016, an insertion element associated with division I H. influenzae capsule serotypes. We examined...
