Shared primer PCR combined with hybridisation for the detection of Bordetella Pertussis and B. Parapertussis [PDF]
, 2001 A method of detecting Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis infection is provided. The method includes amplification of a Bordetella porin gene fragment from a sample such as a human nasopharyngeal aspirate using a Bordetella-specific primer,

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

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 ...

Virulence of Bordetella parapertussis: A comparison of ovine and human isolates [PDF]
, 1999 Bordetella parapertussis is a cause of mild whooping cough in man and, in recent years, has been isolated from both healthy and pneumonic sheep. It has also been shown to interact synergistically with Pasteurella haemolytica in exacerbating ovine ...

Non-opsonized B parapertussis fails to trigger neutrophil degranulation.
, 2017 Neutrophils were incubated with non-opsonized B. parapertussis (Bpp), non-opsonized B. parapertussis Δwbm (BppΔwbm), or IgG-opsonized B. parapertussis (IgG-Bpp) at a MOI of 300.

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,
