We describe a case report of a 56-year-old male with undiagnosed multiple myeloma who had severe sepsis associated with pneumonia, meningitis, polyarthritis, and osteomyelitis related to invasive "Haemophilus quentini" infection. The genus was misidentified as H. influenzae by the common bacterial identification systems including newly introduced syndromic PCR-based methods. We review the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory aspects of this rare, cryptic species of Haemophilus.

is a well-established human pathogen capable of causing a range of respiratory and invasive diseases. Since the 1970s, it has been observed that a nontypeable cryptic genospecies of , most often biotype IV, has been associated with the genitourinary tracts of females and with invasive neonatal infections. This distinct genospecies has been provisionally named "" Here, we report seven cases of invasive disease in patients from Ontario, Canada, over a 2-year period.

Comparison of the genome of the Gram negative human pathogen Haemophilus quentini MP1 with other species of Haemophilus revealed that, although it is more closely related to Haemophilus haemolyticus than Haemophilus influenzae, the pathogen is in fact genetically distinct, a finding confirmed by phylogenetic analysis using the H. influenzae multilocus sequence typing genes. Further comparison with two other H.

We isolated a cryptic genospecies of Haemophilus influenzae referred to as 'Haemophilus quentini' in the urethra of 3 men complaining of urethritis symptoms. H. influenzae strains, which had been isolated from the urethra in 77 of 1518 men complaining of urethritis symptoms, identified by the conventional test, and stored, were re-cultured for this study.
