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

Detection of small RNAs in Bordetella pertussis and identification of a novel repeated genetic element [PDF]
, 2011 Background Small bacterial RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in numerous prokaryotic species. Some of them are involved in the regulation of virulence in pathogenic bacteria. So far,

Multicenter Evaluation of the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel for the Detection of Viruses and Bacteria in Nasopharyngeal Swab Specimens [PDF]
, 2020 The QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel (QIAstat-Dx RP) is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of 20 pathogens directly from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens. The assay is performed using a simple sample-to-answer platform with

New Microbes and New Infections, 2015 Between January 2013 and December 2014, we conducted laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR, which discriminates among Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Bordetella holmesii and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

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.

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.

Saliva and Anterior Nasal Samples for Detecting Respiratory Viruses in Children. [PDF]
APMISABSTRACT For detecting respiratory viruses, a nasopharyngeal swab sample for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays has been the benchmark. Less discomfort related to sampling is requested especially for children, and thus other sample types have been suggested.

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 ...
