Abstract

As a versatile opportunistic pathogen, the accurate identification of Haemophilus species is a challenge in clinical practice. In this study, we characterized the phenotypic and genotypic features of four H. seminalis strains that were isolated from human sputum specimens and propose the “ H . intermedius ” and hemin (X-factor)-independent H. haemolyticus isolates as belonging to H. seminalis .
