Changes in genetic types and population dynamics of Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitalized children are not associated with an exacerbation of existing disease
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis typing was performed on a retrospective set of 129 Moraxella catarrhalis isolates obtained over a 20 month period from 70 children admitted to, or presenting at, the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The mean age of the children (at the end of the study) was 2.5 years, with a range of 6 months to 15 years. Fifty-one different M. catarrhalis types were isolated from the hospitalized children, with 31 % (22/70) being infected with two
