Standard Operating Procedure for Real-time PCR Detection and Identification of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii using AB7500 v1 [PDF]
The appropriate use of clinically accurate diagnostic tests is essential for the detection of pertussis, a poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease. The purpose of this study was to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of different diagnostic criteria including culture, multi-target polymerase chain reaction (PCR), anti-pertussis toxin IgG ...

Identification of a CO2 responsive regulon in Bordetella. [PDF]
Sensing the environment allows pathogenic bacteria to coordinately regulate gene expression to maximize survival within or outside of a host. Here we show that Bordetella species regulate virulence factor expression in response to carbon dioxide levels ...

The fatty acid composition of 3 B. pertussis strains and 2 B. parapertussis strains grown on casein-carbon agar (CCA) with 8% of sheep blood added and without blood, as well as B. parapertussis strain grown on beef-extract agar (BEA) has been studied by gas chromatography. The fatty acid profiles characteristic of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis were
