The penicillin binding proteins of the genus Haemophilus

P. M. Mendelman and D. A. Serfass
Division of Infectious Diseases, Children's Hospital and Medical Center, Seattle, WA.

We questioned whether the penicillin binding protein (PBP) profiles of representative strains from the 19 species varied within the genus Haemophilus and whether these profiles would be of taxonomic value. Seventeen of the 19 representative strains studied had distinct PBP profiles; only those of H. avium and H. paragallinarum were identical. The data support the inclusion of H. aegyptius in the genus as a species related to but separate from H. influenzae and could not exclude H. somnus, H. agni, and H. equigenitalis from the genus. Comparative PBP analysis within the genus Haemophilus may therefore be useful taxonomically.
