Evaluation of a real-time PCR assay for detection of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis in clinical samples [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2001 A real-time PCR assay based on the TaqMan technology was developed for the detection of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis in clinical samples. The assay was evaluated with 182 specimens from 153 patients with and without symptoms of pertussis. The analytical sensitivity ranged from 0.1 to 10 cfu for B. pertussis and B.

Molecular evolution of the two-component system BvgAS involved in virulence regulation in Bordetella. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis is closely related to Bordetella bronchiseptica, which is responsible for chronic respiratory infections in various mammals and is occasionally found in humans, and to Bordetella parapertussis, one lineage of

Differentiation of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica by Whole-Cell Protein Electrophoresis and Fatty Acid Analysis [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995 One-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of whole-cell proteins and gas-liquid chromatography of cellular fatty acids were used to determine chemotaxonomic characteristics of strains belonging to Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, and Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Natural History and Ecology of Interactions Between Bordetella Species and Amoeba
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 A variety of bacteria have evolved the ability to interact with environmental phagocytic predators such as amoebae, which may have facilitated their subsequent interactions with phagocytes in animal hosts.

Structural characterization of Bordetella parapertussis lipid A
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Bordetella parapertussis like B. pertussis, is a causal agent of whooping cough but is not a strictly human pathogen. Because its endotoxin, a major structural component of the Gram-negative outer membrane, is an important virulence factor, we have ...

In Vitro Susceptibilities of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis to BAY 12-8039, Trovafloxacin, and Ciprofloxacin [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1998 BAY 12-8039 is a new 8-methoxyquinolone with activity against gram-positive bacteria that is significantly better than that of ciprofloxacin and activity against gram-negative bacteria comparable to that of ciprofloxacin (4). Trovafloxacin (formerly CP-99,219) is a novel fluoronaphthyridone related to the fluoroquinolones with excellent activity ...

Chromosome-Borne Class A BOR-1 β - Lactamase of Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2005 ABSTRACT A narrow-spectrum clavulanic acid-inhibited class A β-lactamase, BOR-1, was identified in a Bordetella bronchiseptica clinical isolate. It shared 45% amino acid identity with L-2 from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia .
