Haemophilus influenzae pathogenesis
Genome-wide mutant fitness analysis of H. influenzae was performed to identify potential gene(s) epistatic on galactosyltransferase lic2A. The genetic screen entails assessing the fitness of a bank of transposon insertion mutants in the lic2A mutant background in comparison to fitness of the mutant bank in the parental strain in a murine lung model of H. influenzae infection.
