Restriction enzyme analysis typing with Hin fI, Hae III and Pst I was performed on Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis strains consecutively collected from children suspected of respiratory tract infection and the type strain. Use of Hin fI gave the most distinct patterns. Great polymorphism was seen among strains.
