Abstract

Whether cross-infection of respiratory pathogens between patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis occurs is debated. Investigation with traditional microbiological culture risks simplifying the lung microbiome. We demonstrate the use of culture-independent Multilocus sequence typing to screen for Haemophilus influenzae strain types in a cohort of twenty-eight patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
