Abstract
Although vaccination has reduced the incidence of Haemophilus influenzae type b, nontypeable H. influenzae and other encapsulated types remain a health threat. Little is known regarding the contemporary molecular epidemiology of these organisms. We conducted multilocus sequence typing on invasive H. influenzae during a period of increasing incidence.
