Induction of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps by Nontypeable Haemophilus Influenzae And Defense Mechanisms Against Host NETs and Oxidative Stress
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a Gram-negative commensal bacteria of the human nasopharynx. Normally residing in healthy individuals, NTHi rarely causes adverse effects. However, infection with NTHi in children often leads to middle ear inflammation and disease in the form of otitis …

Quorum Signaling and Biofilm Antibiotic Resistance Phenotypes of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Clinical Isolates
… nontypeable <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> (NTHi) is a leading cause of otitis media (OM). This disease affects children around the world. Treatment is complicated by the ability of the bacteria to form biofilms in which they are more tolerant to antimicrobials. Developing a better …

The Colonization Strategies of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae - Bacterial Colonization Factors and Vaccine Development
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a remarkably proficient colonizer of the human respiratory tract. The aim of this thesis has been to characterize currently known, and identify novel, bacterial factors involved in the key processes of colonization and pathogenesis, namely adherence to …

<i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> modulins in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease airway inflammation
<p>Nontypeable <em>H. influenzae</em> (NTHi) causes repeated respiratory infections characterized by a brisk inflammatory response that results in the expression and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that secreted and cell asssociated NTHi proteins mediate cellular …

Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles. Mediators of virulence and antibiotic resistance.
… co-pathogens such as non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi) and Streptococcus pneumoniae from killing. Thereafter, we established in our third study that serum from healthy adults contain anti-Moraxella β-lactamase antibodies. We showed that these antibodies bind to and neutralize β-lactamase in OMV to …

Invasive disease by Haemophilus influenzae in Sweden in the era of the H. influenzae type b vaccine
… invasive disease by non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi) increased significantly during the study period. The results also suggest an increased incidence of invasive disease by H. influenzae type f (Hif), and type f is the most common serotype in Sweden today. Cases of invasive disease by non-type b …

Survival strategies of the human respiratory tract pathogen Haemophilus influenzae
… In contrast, non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi) accounts for the majority of local and upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The pathogenesis of many microorganisms relies on the capacity of pathogens to avoid, resist or neutralise the host defence including the complement system. …

MEMORY TH17 CELLS IN THE LUNG DURING SECONDARY BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA FOLLOWING INFLUENZA A VIRUS INFECTION
… nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) are the most common cause of lethal secondary bacterial pneumonia in IAV infected individuals. Current vaccines used to protect against bacterial infection are very limited because the antibodies generated are …

Haemophilus influenzae adhesins and the innate immune response
… referred to as nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi), are frequently associated with acute otitis media in children and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among the elderly. H. influenzae expresses several outer membrane proteins of which the adhesins play an important role in the …
