Evaluation of real-time PCR for diagnosis of
Background Nucleic acid amplification of the IS481 region by PCR is more sensitive than culture for detection and diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis but the assay has known cross-reactivity for Bordetella holmesii and its use as a routine diagnostic assay

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii–Associated Pertussis-Like Illness, Northern India, 2019–2023 [PDF]
We investigated Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis in 935 suspected pertussis cases in northern India (2019–2023) using PCR and serology. B. holmesii showed increased prevalence in pertussis cases, particularly in older children, highlighting ...

Looking beyond Pertussis in Prolonged Cough Illness of Young Children [PDF]
Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is one of the most poorly controlled vaccine-preventable diseases in the world. South-East Asia is estimated to contribute the most to childhood disease burden while this remains largely unexplored in India ...

Comparison of Bordetella species identification among differing rt-PCR assays in the United States [PDF]
In the United States, the general laboratory method for diagnosing pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is real-time PCR (rt-PCR) targeting insertion sequence 481 (IS481).

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good: the current reality of Bordetella testing [PDF]
Diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis is made by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect insertion sequence 481 (IS481). However, IS481 is found in both B. pertussis and Bordetella holmesii. In a recent study, Cole et al.

Transmission of Bordetella holmesii during Pertussis Outbreak, Japan [PDF]
We describe the epidemiology of a pertussis outbreak in Japan in 2010–2011 and Bordetella holmesii transmission. Six patients were infected; 4 patients were students and a teacher at the same junior high school.

Positivity analysis of Bordetella spp. and SARS-CoV-2 coinfections in clinical samples from Colombia, 2021–2022 [PDF]
Pertussis and COVID-19 are respiratory diseases with similar clinical manifestations, complicating diagnosis. In Colombia, pertussis surveillance is based on probable cases confirmed through laboratory detection of Bordetella pertussis.

Genome-based prediction of cross-protective, HLA-DR-presented epitopes as putative vaccine antigens for multiple Bordetella species [PDF]
Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against severe pertussis, but vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time. Prior animal studies showed that T-cell responses are integral to long-lasting immunity.
