Severe pertussis infection in infants less than 6 months of age: clinical manifestations and molecular characterization [PDF]

, 2017
We conducted a study to determine the main traits of pertussis among unimmunized infants less than 6 months of age. From August 2012 to March 2015, 141 nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) were collected from infants with respiratory symptoms attending 2

DGR mutagenic transposition occurs via hypermutagenic reverse transcription primed by nicked template RNA. [PDF]

, 2017
Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are molecular evolution machines that facilitate microbial adaptation to environmental changes. Hypervariation occurs via a mutagenic retrotransposition process from a template repeat (TR) to a variable repeat ...

Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]

, 2012
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

Conserved Patterns of Symmetric Inversion in the Genome Evolution of Bordetella Respiratory Pathogens

mSystems, 2019
Whooping cough (pertussis), primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis, has resurged in the United States, and circulating strains exhibit considerable chromosome structural fluidity in the form of rearrangement and deletion.

A comprehensive resource for Bordetella genomic epidemiology and biodiversity studies

Nature Communications, 2022
The genus Bordetella includes environmental bacteria as well as human pathogens. Here, the authors present a large database of environmental and clinical Bordetella isolates and genome sequences, and develop genotyping systems to facilitate evolutionary ...

A new topology of the HK97-like fold revealed in Bordetella bacteriophage by cryoEM at 3.5 A resolution. [PDF]

, 2013
Bacteriophage BPP-1 infects and kills Bordetella species that cause whooping cough. Its diversity-generating retroelement (DGR) provides a naturally occurring phage-display system, but engineering efforts are hampered without atomic structures.
