Differential detection of B. pertussis from B. parapertussis using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in presence of SYBR green1 and amplicon melting analysis

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2004
Nucleic acid (DNA) from control stock strains of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis (B. pertussis strain # 9797 and B. parapertussis strain # 15234 from ATCC) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting pertussis toxin (PT) promotor region, in presence of SYBR green1 a dye that fluoresces on binding specifically to double stranded DNA ...

No innocent bystanders: pertussis vaccination epitomizes evolutionary parallelisms between Bordetella parapertussis and B. pertussis

ABSTRACT Pathogens adapting to the human host and to vaccination-induced immunity may follow parallel evolutionary paths. Bordetella parapertussis ( Bpp ) contributes significantly to the burden of whooping cough (pertussis), shares vaccine ...
