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

Transmission of Bordetella holmesii during Pertussis Outbreak, Japan [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 We describe the epidemiology of a pertussis outbreak in Japan in 2010–2011 and Bordetella holmesii transmission. Six patients were infected; 4 patients were students and a teacher at the same junior high school.

BipA Is Associated with Preventing Autoagglutination and Promoting Biofilm Formation in Bordetella holmesii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bordetella holmesii causes both invasive and respiratory diseases in humans. Although the number of cases of pertussis-like respiratory illnesses due to B. holmesii infection has increased in the last decade worldwide, little is known about the virulence

Lack of Cross-protection against Bordetella holmesii after Pertussis Vaccination [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Bordetella holmesii, a species closely related to B. pertussis, has been reported sporadically as a cause of whooping cough–like symptoms. To investigate whether B. pertussis–induced immunity is protective against infection with B. holmesii, we conducted

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii as a Causative Agent of Whooping Cough, Barcelona, Spain [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 We describe the detection of Bordetella holmesii as a cause of whooping cough in Spain. Prevalence was 3.9% in 2015, doubling to 8.8% in 2016. This emergence raises concern regarding the contribution of B.

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2018 We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by Bordetella holmesii, an emergent pathogen. This small Gram-negative rod was first known as a cause of invasive infections on asplenic patients. This case describes a spondylodiscitis due to this bacterium in

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good: the current reality of Bordetella testing [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumDiagnosis of Bordetella pertussis is made by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect insertion sequence 481 (IS481). However, IS481 is found in both B. pertussis and Bordetella holmesii. In a recent study, Cole et al.

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii–Associated Pertussis-Like Illness, Northern India, 2019–2023 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWe investigated Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis in 935 suspected pertussis cases in northern India (2019–2023) using PCR and serology. B. holmesii showed increased prevalence in pertussis cases, particularly in older children, highlighting ...
