Abstract
High-molecular-weight proteins of Haemophilus influenzae mediate attachment to epithelial cells. Previous reports describe several allelic versions of hmwA genes that have different adherence properties. Here we report three new alleles of hmwA (hmwA from strain AAr96, hmwA from strain AAr105, and hmwA from strain G822), demonstrating the high degree of DNA variation of these genes among different strains.Entities:
