  Fig. S1, quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirms that gene expression of MCORF 821 is not decreased in CL-deficient strains of O35E

  Fig. S2, CL-deficient strains do not exhibit reduced viability in conditions of osmotic stress

  Fig. S3, absence of CL in M. catarrhalis does not affect its ability to survive in PBSG, TC media, and saponin solution

  Fig. S4, adhesins are expressed and localized to the outer membrane in CL-deficient strains of M. catarrhalis

  Fig. S5, M. catarrhalis adhesins are localized to and displayed on the outer membrane of WT and CL-deficient bacteria
