PCR detecting the protein D (hpd ) and fuculose kinase (fucK ) genes showed high sensitivity and specificity for identifyingHaemophilus influenzae and differentiating it fromH. haemolyticus . Phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene demonstrated two distinct groups forH. influenzae andH. haemolyticus .
