Interaction of Haemophilus influenzae with human erythrocytes and oropharyngeal epithelial cells is mediated by a common fimbrial epitope.

The role of fimbriae in the adherence of Haemophilus influenzae to oropharyngeal epithelial cells and the hemagglutination (HA) of human Anton-positive erythrocytes was examined.
