Brief description Moraxella catarrhalis (Mcat) and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) are two major causes of middle ear infections in children, and respiratory disease in adults. This project aims to characterise novel regulatory mechanisms associated with disease isolates of these bacteria. This research will aid vaccine development by defining the repertoire of stably expressed potential vaccine targets of Mcat and NTHi, and will improve our understanding of host-pathogen interactions.
