Using a standardized micromethod, the authors aimed at the study of biochemical characterization of 51 Haemophilus strains (influenzae and parainfluenzae). The statistical analysis of the results allowed them to definite a theoretical average outline corresponding to three groups of bacteria :-- group of Haemophilus influenzae, -- group of Haemophilus parainfluenzae, -- group of different Haemophilus. The authors propose some modifications in order to make this identification specifically applicable to diagnose species and biotypes of genus Haemophilus.
