Nontypable strains of Haemophilus influenzae are well-known causes of maternal and neonatal infections. Using DNA-DNA hybridization techniques, some of these strains have been shown to belong to a cryptic genospecies of Haemophilus, which is distantly related to Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus hemolyticus. This report describes the first case of sepsis and chorioamnionitis due to Haemophilus influenzae biotype I, which was identified using the RapIDNH system and then confirmed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis to belong to this cryptic genospecies of Haemophilus. The electromorph type 92 of the isolate was consistent with that of biotype I of the cryptic genospecies.
不可分型流感嗜血杆菌是引起孕产妇和新生儿感染的常见病因。运用DNA-DNA杂交技术，已证实其中一些菌株属于流感嗜血杆菌的一个隐匿基因种，该基因种与流感嗜血杆菌和溶血嗜血杆菌亲缘关系较远。本报告描述了首例由I型流感嗜血杆菌引起的败血症和绒毛膜羊膜炎病例，该菌株先用RapID NH系统鉴定，随后通过多位点酶电泳确认属于流感嗜血杆菌的这一隐匿基因种。分离菌株的电泳型92与该隐匿基因种的I型一致。
