Clinical significance and characterization of Haemophilus influenzae type b genogroup isolates from urine samples in an adult male population

Abstract

The occurrence and significance of Haemophilus spp isolated from the genitourinary tract are not well known. Herein, we describe the clinical significance and characteristics of Haemophilus influenzae type b genogroup strains isolated from genitourinary tract specimens from an adult male veteran patient population and, in particular, their associations with prostatitis and epididymitis. © 2014, American Society for Microbiology.
