The locus lex2, comprising lex2A and lex2B, contributes to the phase-variable expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Haemophilus influenzae and was found to be present in 74 % of strains investigated. lex2A contains 59-GCAA repeats which vary in n...

Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative bacterium that was first described by Pfeiffer in 1892 (1). This ubiquitous, human-specific organism was originally thought to be the etiologic agent of “influenza.” However, H. influenzae was not consistentl...
