Multi locus sequence type comparison of invasive and commensal Haemophilus influenzae isolates from Delhi
Haemophilus influenzae is a major public health concern in the
developing world. The most virulent strain is H. influenzae Type b
(Hib). Hib also constitutes a major portion of nasopharyngeal commensal
flora in otherwise healthy individuals. Through dendogram based on
composite gene sequences of seven multi locus sequence type genes, it
was observed that invasive and commensal isolates made two completely
separate clusters which are indicative of independent evolution of
these two groups of H. influenzae in the Indian subcontinent
