Abstract Using 252 isolates of Haemophilus influenzae separated from 9 hospital laboratories in western area of Shizuoka prefecture, we investigated patients' background, antibiotics sensitivity and antiserum-positive rate (capsule antigen). The ratios of antibiotics-resistant isolates were 51.6% in gBLNAR, 29.8% in gBLNAS, and 9.9% in gLow-BLNAR, respectively. The antiserum-positive isolate rate was 3.6%, and Hib positive isolate was just one (0.4%; 1/252) that was separated from 37-yr-old woman. For appropriate antimicrobial use and prevention of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it is very important to continuously examine the antibiotic-resistance of the clinical isolates and epidemiological properties in the community.
