Abstract

Serotype, biotype and antibiotic susceptibility of H. influenzae isolated from various clinical specimens from July to October 1981 were examined.<BR>Eleven of 90 strains were serotyped as b or e by counterimmunoelectrophoresis, but 2 strains of type e were nontypable by slide agglutination test. Excluding 3 strains of type b isolated from two meningitis patients, 8 strains from respiratorytract specimens were sero type d: 2 strains of type b and 3 strains of type e were isolated from sputum, 2 strains of type e were isolated from throat swab and one strain of type e was isolated from otorrhea.<BR>Biotyping was performed according to the scheme of Kilian. Seventy-six of 90 strains were classified as type I, II or III. All 5 strains of serotype b belonged to biotype I but 6 strains of sero type e were classified as type IV, I or II.<BR>Seventeen of 84 strains were resistant to ampicillin and 6 of them were resistant to both ampicillin and chloramphenicol. Among those ampicillin resistant strains, only one was sero type d and was type e.
