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,

Initial modelling and updates on cost effectiveness from the first 10 years of a spleen registry

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 463-466, October 2018., 2018
Abstract Objective: To validate our estimates from our original model and re‐evaluate the cost‐effectiveness of Spleen Australia, the Australian post‐splenectomy registry, using our original model with updated model parameters based on advances in the literature and experience of the registry over the past decade. Methods: We revisited a decision model

Evaluation of Amplification Targets for the Specific Detection of Bordetella pertussis Using Real‐Time Polymerase Chain Reaction

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

Prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Bordetella holmesii, an Acinetobacter lookalike

, 2012
We report a case of fulminant endocarditis on a prosthetic homograft aortic valve caused by Bordetella holmesii, which was successfully managed by surgical valve replacement and antibiotic treatment. B.

Missed pertussis diagnosis during co-infection with Bordetella holmesii

, 2022
The purpose of this study is to identify predictive factors associated with missed diagnosis of B. pertussis–B. holmesii co-infection by assessing the analytical performance of a commercially available multiplexed PCR assay and by building a prediction ...
