Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a major bacterial pathogen that causes multiple infections. We report high-depth-coverage RNA-Seq data from three NTHi strains, each of which encodes a different phase-variable methyltransferase. Major gene expression differences occur, commensurate with modA phase variation, and data will serve as an important resource for future studies.
