Identification of Bordetella pertussis in a critically ill human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient by direct genotypical analysis of Gram-stained material and discrimination from B. holmesii by using a unique recA gene restriction enzyme site. [PDF]
J Clin Microbiol, 2004 Bordetella pertussis was diagnosed in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient by a newly developed method in which bacterial DNA is amplified directly from sputum Gram-stained slides. The validation of the method is described along with an additional new PCR-based assay that can distinguish between B. pertussis and Bordetella holmesii.

Detection of Bordetella holmesii Using Bordetella pertussis IS 481 PCR Assay [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000 After our manuscript comparing the performance of PCR, culture, and direct fluorescent-antibody testing for Bordetella pertussis ([3][1]) went to press, we obtained six isolates of Bordetella holmesii for the purpose of testing with our B. pertussis IS 481 PCR assay.

BipA Is Associated with Preventing Autoagglutination and Promoting Biofilm Formation in Bordetella holmesii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bordetella holmesii causes both invasive and respiratory diseases in humans. Although the number of cases of pertussis-like respiratory illnesses due to B. holmesii infection has increased in the last decade worldwide, little is known about the virulence

An ecological baseline for Laminaria hyperborea forests in western Ireland
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 9, Page 3439-3454, September 2021., 2021 Abstract The biodiversity associated with subtidal Irish kelp forests dominated by Laminaria hyperborea has never been described. To enumerate species assemblages in these ecosystems, subtidal surveys were done throughout the calendar year to investigate species assemblages within kelp forests, composition of benthic communities, species colonizing ...

Lack of Cross-protection against Bordetella holmesii after Pertussis Vaccination
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Bordetella holmesii, a species closely related to B. pertussis, has been reported sporadically as a cause of whooping cough–like symptoms. To investigate whether B. pertussis–induced immunity is protective against infection with B. holmesii, we conducted
