Haemophilus Influenzae – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Haemophilus influenzae is a bacterium that can cause various infections, collectively called Haemophilus influenzae disease. These infections are classified into encapsulated and non-encapsulated types. The encapsulated form is subtyped based on its capsule type, with the most commonly encountered serotype being H. influenzae type b (Hib). This serotype primarily affects children and immunocompromised individuals and is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia. Other serotypes, such as types a, e, and f, are less commonly identified. Haemophilus influenzae disease is usually caused by the adhesion of the bacterium to host cells and the expression of virulence factors. Encapsulated H. influenzae utilizes proteins such as protein H and Haemophilus surface fibrils (Hsf), while non-encapsulated H. influenzae does not. The capsule of the encapsulated form confers antiphagocytic properties, and the lack of anti-capsular antibodies can increase bacterial...
