Abstract

The possible intrafamiliar transmission of Moraxella catarrhalis was evaluated in 3 pairs between children and their parents, and 8 pairs between siblings from 11 families. Of the 22 isolates, all were found producing β-lactamase. Molecular typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with Not I and Spe I showed that the PFGE patterns in 2 of 3 pairs between children and their parents, and 4 of 8 pairs between siblings were indistinguishable and those of the remaining pairs were different. These data indicate a possible high rate of intrafamiliar transmission of M. catarrhalis.
