Background: Haemophilus influenzae (Hi), a Gram-negative bacterium, is divided into two broad categories: encapsulated and non-capsulated isolates, also called non-typeable Hi isolates (NTHi). NTHi has become prevalent since the introduction of the vaccine against Hi of serotype b. Hi can cause local infections on respiratory mucosal surfaces and urogenital infections, which can lead to septic abortion in pregnant women. It can also cause invasive infections such as meningitis and septicemia. Moreover, NTHi isolates are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Vaccines targeting NTHi are not yet available. As these NTHi isolates are not encapsulated, vaccines should target proteins at the bacterial surface. However, vaccine development is hindered by the high variability of these proteins. We aimed to identify conserved outer membrane proteins (OMPs) for vaccines against NTHi.
