ABSTRACT:
The isolation and cloning of the structural gene, hifA, for the NTHi pili serotype 5 and the serotype 1 LKP operon, DNA molecules capable of hybridizing to the DNA sequences of the Haemophilus influenzae genome related to the serotype 1 LKP operon and DNA molecules which encode LKP proteins are described.
