Five genetic islands (HiGI) found inHaemophilus influenzae type b strain Eagan were used as hybridization probes on type b,Haemophilus haemolyticus , and nontypeableH. influenzae (NTHi) isolates. HiGI2 and HiGI7 were significantly more prevalent in NTHi isolates from children with otitis media than in those from the throats of healthy children.
