Genome sequences for five strains of the emerging pathogen Haemophilus haemolyticus

J Bacteriol. 2011 Oct;193(20):5879-80. doi: 10.1128/JB.05863-11.

Abstract

We report the first whole-genome sequences for five strains, two carried and three pathogenic, of the emerging pathogen Haemophilus haemolyticus. Preliminary analyses indicate that these genome sequences encode markers that distinguish H. haemolyticus from its closest Haemophilus relatives and provide clues to the identity of its virulence factors.
