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.

Evaluation of Amplification Targets for the Specific Detection of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 217-221, 2014., 2014
BACKGROUND: Bordetella pertussis infections continue to be a major public health challenge in Canada. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to detect B pertussis are typically based on the multicopy insertion sequence IS481, which offers high sensitivity but lacks species specificity. METHODS: A novel B pertussis real‐time PCR assay based on the porin

Cohort profile: A Prospective Household cohort study of Influenza, Respiratory syncytial virus and other respiratory pathogens community burden and Transmission dynamics in South Africa, 2016–2018

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 789-803, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Purpose The PHIRST study (Prospective Household cohort study of Influenza, Respiratory Syncytial virus, and other respiratory pathogens community burden and Transmission dynamics in South Africa) aimed to estimate the community burden of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) including the incidence of infection, symptomatic fraction,

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 ...

Multicenter Evaluation of the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel for the Detection of Viruses and Bacteria in Nasopharyngeal Swab Specimens [PDF]

, 2020
The QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel (QIAstat-Dx RP) is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of 20 pathogens directly from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens. The assay is performed using a simple sample-to-answer platform with

Snapshot of macroalgae and fish assemblages in temperate reefs in the Southern European Atlantic Ecoregion [PDF]

, 2020
Most of the biodiversity studies in the South European Atlantic Shelf ecoregion are limited to shallow subtidal or intertidal habitats, while deeper reef habitats, also of relevant ecological importance, are particularly understudied.

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

Pertussis among patients with clinically compatible illness in the Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background: Pertussis is an acute respiratory tract disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. In 2014, 24.1 million pertussis cases, resulting in 160,700 deaths, were estimated to have occurred worldwide.

Physicians' prediction for the assessment of atypical pathogens in respiratory tract infections

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 226-234, November 2020., 2020
Our study indicates that while physicians' predictions were associated with the detection of atypical pathogens, overestimation was observed. The criteria for atypical pneumonia did not perform well for accurately diagnosing atypical pathogen infection in patients with a fever and cough.

Identification and regulation of expression of a gene encoding a filamentous hemagglutinin-related protein in Bordetella holmesii

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background Bordetella holmesii is a human pathogen closely related to B. pertussis, the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is able to cause disease in immunocompromised patients, but also whooping cough-like symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals.
