H. influenzae is the abbreviated name of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, which according to the definitive text, which categorizes bacteria, Bergey's Manual, belongs to the gram negative, gamma subgroup (as E. coli and S. oneidensis) Pasteurellales, genus XIII Haemophilus. As a pathogen H. influenzae can cause numerous diseases, such as bronchitis, meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis, and sepsis, all of which are serious health problems. For example, the chronic bronchitis is the fourth most common cause of death in the US. In 1995 H. influenzae became the first organism for which the genome was completely sequenced (six years earlier than Human genome sequence draft). Since then H. influenzae is becoming one of the leading model organisms for applying new high-throughput technologies and computational analyses. Understanding the H. influenzae and its interactions with its only host (Humans) will have a tremendous impact to our Health, especially of infants and the elderly.We are still not there...
