Lack of Cross-protection against Bordetella holmesii after Pertussis Vaccination
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

Bordetella holmesii, an emerging pathogen, can be misidentified as Bordetella pertussis by routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In some reports, up to 29% of the patients diagnosed with pertussis have in fact B.

BipA Is Associated with Preventing Autoagglutination and Promoting Biofilm Formation in Bordetella holmesii. [PDF]
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

Transmission of Bordetella holmesii during Pertussis Outbreak, Japan
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.

Bordetella holmesii-Like Organisms Isolated from Massachusetts Patients with Pertussis-Like Symptoms
We isolated Bordetella holmesii, generally associated with septicemia in patients with underlying conditions, from nasopharyngeal specimens of otherwise healthy young persons with a cough. The proportion of B.

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

Bordetella pertussis is the causative pathogen of whooping cough or pertussis, a contagious respiratory disease. Aside from serodiagnosis, laboratory confirmation of pertussis is done through PCR, as B. pertussis is difficult to culture. The ELITe InGenius instrument (ELITechGroup, France) with accompanying Bordetella ELITe MGB Kit was evaluated ...

An ecological baseline for Laminaria hyperborea forests in western Ireland
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 ...
