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 .

Phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancient gene duplication as the origin of the MdtABC efflux pump. [PDF]
, 2020 The efflux pumps from the Resistance-Nodulation-Division family, RND, are main contributors to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Among this family, the MdtABC pump is unusual by having two inner membrane components.

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.

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 ...
