Molecular characterization of Haemophilus influenzae virulence factors

Abstract:             Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative microorganism, pathogenic for human, causing both localized respiratory tract and systemic (invasive) disease. The initial step in the pathogenesis of disease involves colonization of the nosopharynx. To facilitate colonization, H. influenzae elaborates both pilus and non-pilus adhesins. To come in and survive in dipper host tissues bacterium produces a lot of other virulence factors that interfere with host defence mechanisms or make possible to gain required nutrient ingradients. Because of naturally competence for DNA uptake from environment a lot of virulence factors were acquired through horizontal transfer and are the pathogenicity islands. This article presents major virulence factors of H. influenzae, their regulation systems and mechanisms of changeability.
