Analysis of isolates recovered from multiple sites of the nasopharynx of children colonized by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae
Abstract
To determine whether the nasopharynx of children is colonized by a single or multiple strains of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, cultures were obtained from six nasopharyngeal sites in five children. For each child, all isolates yielded identical polymerase chain reaction fingerprints. The results indicate that these children were colonized in the nasopharynx with a single strain of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae at one time.
