Abstract
Our investigation suggests that the ST14CC-PBP3IIb/A clonal group is associated with increased clinical virulence, resistance to several antimicrobial agents, and is persistent over time. We conclude that virulence varies between different NTHi, and that NTHi disease may be more dependent on bacterial factors than previously recognized.
