Combined presentation of misleading or contradictory patterns of diagnostic results from 29 out of 77 clinical <i>Haemophilus</i> spp. isolates, 4 well-characterized <i>H. haemophilus</i> strains (donation from the University of Aarhus) and 1 <i>Haemophilus parahaemolyticus</i> strain from a strain collection.
<p>Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of clinical <i>Haemophilus</i> spp. isolates and strains from strain collections was done if the best match for any of the diagnostic procedures performed led to misleading or contradictory results. The well-characterized <i>H. haemolyticus</i> strains that were donated by the University of Aarhus were not sequenced. (“No ID” indicates that the diagnostic procedure did not even allow for identification to genus level).</p><p><b>Bold type</b> indicates misleading or contradictory diagnostic results. For clarity, the table presents only best matches without percentages indicating the reliability of each diagnostic result.</p
