Bordetella parapertussis can occasionally be isolated in the late period of epidemic pertussis and even from the same patient infected with B. pertussis, thereby closely related to B. pertussis. Compared with B. pertussis, it is more frequently isolated from vaccinated individuals as well.

On the origin and evolution of biosynthetic pathways: integrating microarray data with structure and organization of the Common Pathway genes [PDF]
Background: The lysine, threonine, and methionine biosynthetic pathways share the three initial enzymatic steps, which are referred to as the Common Pathway (CP). In Escherichia coli three different aspartokinases (AKI, AKII, AKIII, the products of thrA,

ABSTRACT Children with an early severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection have an increased risk of wheezing later in life. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate whether children with a mild RSV infection taken care of in a primary health care setting had an increased incidence of wheezing in the 2 years following infection compared to ...

The O antigen is a critical antigen for the development of a protective immune response to Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]
Despite excellent vaccine coverage in developed countries, whooping cough is a reemerging disease that can be caused by two closely related pathogens, Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis.

Investigating genome reduction of Bordetella pertussis using a multiplex PCR-based reverse line blot assay (mPCR/RLB) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The genetic composition of the bacterium causing whooping cough, Bordetella pertussis, has been investigated using microarray studies in order to examine potential genetic contributors to the disease re-emergence in the past decade.

ABSTRACT Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV‐3) can be responsible for mild to severe respiratory infections and hospital epidemics. We investigated an outbreak in a hematology unit. Respiratory viruses were screened using multiplex PCR. HPIV‐3 quantification and whole‐genome sequencing were performed on HPIV‐3 positive respiratory samples. Clinical

Impact of nutrient medium composition on protein profiling of Bordetella spp. [PDF]
Objective. To perform comparative analysis of Bordetella protein profiling data and their dependence on various nutrient media. Materials and Methods. This prospective open single-center study, the protein profiles of B. pertussis, B.

A study in Van, Turkey examined Bordetella bronchiseptica in shelter dogs using ELISA and PCR. Overall, 12% of blood samples tested positive. Serum amyloid A (SAA) levels were significantly elevated in positive cases, suggesting SAA could be a useful diagnostic marker for this chronic respiratory disease‐causing bacterial pathogen.

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 ...

Predicting the Proteins of Angomonas deanei, Strigomonas culicis and Their Respective Endosymbionts Reveals New Aspects of the Trypanosomatidae Family [PDF]
Endosymbiont-bearing trypanosomatids have been considered excellent models for the study of cell evolution because the host protozoan co-evolves with an intracellular bacterium in a mutualistic relationship.
