NTHI is an important cause of chronic respiratory tract infections, including otitis media, chronic rhinosinusitis, and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis. The chronic and recurrent nature of these diseases is attributed to the presence of bacterial biofilms, which are highly resistant to antimicrobials. We characterized NTHI biofilm growth and expression of PilA, the major subunit of the Tfp, at the temperature of the hNP, which is the commensal habitat of NTHI. Our results expand the current understanding of the role of Tfp during biofilm formation and maturation at the temperature of both the hNP and the middle ear, and they strengthen support for PilA as a vaccine candidate for the prevention and treatment of NTHI biofilm-associated diseases.
