Infection of Haemophilus influenza and Species Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6195
The Infection of Haemophilus influenzae and Species Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates Haemophilus influenzae and its role in respiratory and systemic infection.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain the growth requirements of this fastidious organism and the diseases it causes.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Morphology | Haemophilus influenzae is a small, Gram-negative, pleomorphic coccobacillus |
| Growth Factors | Requires factor X (hemin) and factor V (NAD) for growth, typically supplied by chocolate agar |
| Capsular Type b | Encapsulated type b strains were historically a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in young children before vaccination |
| Non-Typeable Strains | Unencapsulated strains commonly cause otitis media, sinusitis, and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis |
| Other Manifestations | Can also cause epiglottitis and pneumonia, particularly in unvaccinated children and immunocompromised adults |
Key Features
- Illustrates the growth requirements of Haemophilus influenzae
- Shows the disease spectrum of encapsulated and non-typeable strains
- Explains the historical role of type b disease before vaccination
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls
