Bordetella holmesii-Like Organisms Isolated from Massachusetts Patients with Pertussis-Like Symptoms

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
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.

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii as a Causative Agent of Whooping Cough, Barcelona, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We describe the detection of Bordetella holmesii as a cause of whooping cough in Spain. Prevalence was 3.9% in 2015, doubling to 8.8% in 2016. This emergence raises concern regarding the contribution of B.

Conserved Patterns of Symmetric Inversion in the Genome Evolution of Bordetella Respiratory Pathogens

mSystems, 2019
Whooping cough (pertussis), primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis, has resurged in the United States, and circulating strains exhibit considerable chromosome structural fluidity in the form of rearrangement and deletion.

Laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR in Japan: evidence for Bordetella pertussis infection in preteens and teens

New Microbes and New Infections, 2015
Between January 2013 and December 2014, we conducted laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR, which discriminates among Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Bordetella holmesii and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Culture‐negative group B streptococcal pericarditis: A case report and literature review of the diagnostic use of polymerase chain reaction

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 509-514, March 2019., 2019
Although conventional microbiology cultures may be negative, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can effectively identify both typical and atypical microorganisms. With careful interpretation, PCR could become the gold‐standard diagnostic test for culture‐negative bacterial pericarditis.

A real-time PCR assay with improved specificity for detection and discrimination of all clinically relevant Bordetella species by the presence and distribution of three Insertion Sequence elements

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background In Dutch laboratories molecular detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis is commonly based on insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001, respectively. Both IS elements are more widely spread among Bordetella species. Both Bordetella holmesii,
