Step 1: Introduction

Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative, non-motile, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic, capnophilic pathogenic bacteria of the family Pasteurellaceae. It was originally known as Pfeiffer's bacillus or Bacillus influenzae. It is a mesophilic bacterium and grows best at a temperature range of 35 to 37 °C. 
Pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections are few of the localized and invasive infections caused by H. influenzae  usually in newborns and young children.
