Yin and yang of interleukin-17 in host immunity to infection [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]

, 2017
The interleukin-17 (IL-17) family cytokines, such as IL-17A and IL-17F, play important protective roles in host immune response to a variety of infections such as bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral.

Comparative analysis of the genome sequences of Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2003
Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica are closely related Gram-negative beta-proteobacteria that colonize the respiratory tracts of mammals. B. pertussis is a strict human pathogen of recent evolutionary origin and is the primary etiologic agent of whooping cough. B.

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Bordetella avium and Bordetella bronchiseptica isolates [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989
Two veterinary pathogens, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella avium, were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibilities. Of the 20 antimicrobial agents tested, both species were consistently resistant to penicillin and cefuroxime but susceptible to mezlocillin, piperacillin, gentamicin, amikacin, and cefoperazone.

Diagnosis of whooping cough in Switzerland: differentiating Bordetella pertussis from Bordetella holmesii by polymerase chain reaction.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bordetella holmesii, an emerging pathogen, can be misidentified as Bordetella pertussis by routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In some reports, up to 29% of the patients diagnosed with pertussis have in fact B.

Why genes evolve faster on secondary chromosomes in bacteria [PDF]

, 2010
In bacterial genomes composed of more than one chromosome, one replicon is typically larger, harbors more essential genes than the others, and is considered primary.

Impact of Nirsevimab on Respiratory Syncytial Virus PCR Test Positivity in Young Infants: A Community‐Level Observational Study in Queensland, Australia

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In April 2024 nirsevimab, a long‐acting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)‐specific monoclonal antibody, was made available free of charge to all newborn infants in Queensland. We aimed to explore the community‐level impact of a nirsevimab‐based prevention program on RSV detection percentages among infants aged ≤ 3 months in Queensland ...

Bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in a man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009
Introduction Bordetella bronchiseptica can be a cause of virulent pneumonia in humans with impaired immune systems. Few cases have been reported in the medical literature where Bordetella bronchiseptica has been the only pathogen isolated during a course

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.

Canine chronic idiopathic rhinitis: management and outcome – a single‐centre retrospective observational study

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Canine chronic idiopathic rhinitis is a common cause of nasal disease in dogs but data reporting outcomes following treatment is lacking. The aim was to describe pre‐ and post‐referral management and outcomes of dogs diagnosed with canine chronic idiopathic rhinitis at a single referral centre.
