Abstract

The genetic profile of a given strain of bacteria generated by a specific genotyping method can be as unique as a fingerprint. Information on the circulating invasive genotypes of Haemophilus influenzae in Northern Nigeria is unavailable in the literature. We aimed at determining the invasive genotypes of H. influenzae strains implicated with cerebrospinal meningitis outbreak in parts of Northern Nigeria. The multilocus sequence typing scheme, a DNA sequencing-based genotyping method of sequencing segments of seven internal housekeeping genes was used. The PubMLST.org database and Bacterial Isolate Genome Sequence Database software was equally used.
