Characteristics of hospitalized cases of Pertussis in Catalonia and Navarra, two regions in the north of Spain [PDF]

, 2015
Pertussis causes a large number of cases and hospitalizations in Catalonia and Navarra. We made a study of household cases of pertussis during 2012 and 2013 in order to identify risk factors for hospitalization in pertussis cases.

Prosthetic joint infection by Bordetella holmesii: Case report and a review of the literature [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Bordetella holmesii is a Gram-negative coccobacillus involved in different infections mostly described in case reports. Prosthetic joint infections in relation to this pathogen are rare. Here, we present the third case of B.

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 the ELITe InGenius and Bordetella ELITe MGB Kit for the detection and identification of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis and B. holmesii

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease
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 ...

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

Rapid PCR Detection of Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum

International Journal of Bacteriology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Objective. We compared laboratory developed real‐time PCR assays for detection of Mycoplasma hominis and for detection and differentiation of Ureaplasma urealyticum and parvum to culture using genitourinary specimens submitted for M. hominis and Ureaplasma culture. Methods.

Detection and discrimination of B. pertussis and B. holmesii by real-time PCR targeting IS481 using a beacon probe and probe-target melting analysis

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2003
A beacon probe was designed to detect one of the two documented single nucleotide changes in IS481 target allele of Bordetella holmesii genome as compared to Bordetella pertussis. PCR amplified product targeting a region of IS481 in presence of the probe was subjected to a post-PCR hybridization and melting cycle. Hybrid of the probe with B.

Novel Hydrurus species (Chrysophyceae) and their adaptations to high‐altitude European and Arctic snowfields

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from
