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

Antimicrobial Resistance in Bordetella bronchiseptica
ABSTRACT Bordetella bronchiseptica is involved in respiratory tract infections mainly in dogs and pigs but may also cause infections in humans. Valid and representative data on antimicrobial susceptibility of B. bronchiseptica is rare.

Genetic relatedness and antimicrobial susceptibility of porcine respiratory tract pathogens Streptococcus suis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida [PDF]
Streptococcus suis is a Gram-positive bacterium and a commensal colonizing the porcine respiratory tract. However, some serotypes have a higher virulence and can cause pneumonia, meningitis, septicaemia, arthritis, endocarditis, polyserositis or abortion

Bcr4 Is a Chaperone for the Inner Rod Protein in the Bordetella Type III Secretion System
Bordetella bronchiseptica injects virulence proteins called effectors into host cells via a type III secretion system (T3SS) conserved among many Gram-negative bacteria.

Detection of small RNAs in Bordetella pertussis and identification of a novel repeated genetic element [PDF]
Background Small bacterial RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in numerous prokaryotic species. Some of them are involved in the regulation of virulence in pathogenic bacteria. So far,

Role of phosphoglucomutase of Bordetella bronchiseptica in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and virulence [PDF]
The phosphoglucomutase (PGM)-encoding gene of Bordetella bronchiseptica is required for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. An insertion mutant of the wild-type B.

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