HAEMOPHILUS RESPONSES TO NUTRITIONAL IMMUNITY: EPIGENETIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTION TO BIOFILM ARCHITECTURE, INVASION, PERSISTENCE AND DISEASE SEVERITY.

Haemophilus responses to nutritional immunity: epigenetic and morphological contribution to biofilm architecture, invasion, persistence and disease severity.

In an effort to suppress microbial outgrowth, the host sequesters essential nutrients in a process termed nutritional immunity.However, inflammatory responses to bacterial insult can restore nutritional resources.Given that nutrient availability modulates virulence factor production and biofilm formation by other bacterial species, we hypothesized
