Diagnostic evaluation of polymerase chain reaction discriminative for Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1993
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure for simultaneous detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica was developed and evaluated against culture in a study comprising nasopharyngeal aspirates and swabs from 166 patients with suspected pertussis, 54 of which were culture positive.

Transplacental antibodies. Part I: Maternal antibodies against B. pertussis and B. parapertussis.

Journal of hygiene, epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology, 1985
In 1981 a set of 256 of the umbilical cord blood collected from mothers between 15 and 34 years of age was serologically examined for specific antibodies against B. pertussis and B. parapertussis infections. The mothers were divided into four age groups, each with primipara and multipara subgroups, with the aim to assess age-related variations in ...

Immunological surveys of antibodies against B. pertussis and B. parapertussis in some African and Asian countries.

Journal of hygiene, epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology, 1980
Immunological surveys in African and Asian countries showed a different degree of herd immunity in the respective countries and the circulation of various types of B. pertussis. Antibodies against B. parapertussis, the second aertiological agent of whooping cough, were found in all countries in all age groups.

Development of a viability real time PCR assay for Bordetella pertussis, B parapertussis and B holmesii

Abstract Background Real time PCR provides rapid and accurate laboratory confirmation of clinically suspected pertussis and pertussis like illness (PLI). However, it does not inform the viability as it detects bacterial DNA from both viable and degraded bacterial ...

Use of monoclonal fluorescent antibodies for the detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis.

American clinical laboratory, 2000
While it has been said that PCR is likely to replace DFA as the test of choice, accessibility to and cost of the technique may limit the number of laboratories that are able to implement the process. Still, the advantage of DFA staining relative to other diagnostic methods, including PCR, is the provision of a rapid result and lower overall cost.
