Seven auxotests and four other biochemical tests allowed recognition of 56 types. These were to a degree site-specific. H. influenzae of capsular type b proved almost without exception to belong to one chemotype, and 24 of 33 strains assigned to this chemotype were capsulated. When surgical-ward isolates of H. influenzae were typed, the results suggested that some cross-infection had occurred., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-17-3-335
