First outbreak of Haemophilus influenzae clone ST422 with low susceptibility to quinolones in paediatric patients in Japan.

Conclusion. In this study, we describe an outbreak of a quinolone low-susceptible ST422 clone in paediatric patients in Japan. Because ST422 isolates have already been reported in at least five other countries, it has the potential to spread worldwide.
