title: Deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness between Haemophilus aegyptius and Haemophilus influenzae.
abstract: Haemophilus aegyptius should be considered a junior subjective synonym of Haemophilus influenzae. Both nomenspecies are indistinguishable by DNA/DNA hybridization (S1 nuclease method). No single phenotypic test can unambigously separate H. aegyptius from the other biotypes of H. influenzae.
