Epidemiology
As presented in Table 1, except for Haemophilus ducreyi, Haemophilus spp. normally inhabit the
upper respiratory tract of hum
Asymptomatic colonization with Haemophilus influenzae type b is rare. Although H. ducreyi is only
found in humans,
the organism is not part of our normal microbiota, and its presence in clinical specimens indicates
infection.
