InvasiveBordetella holmesiiinfections

Infectious Diseases, 2014
Bordetella holmesii is a rare cause of invasive human disease. The fastidious and unusual nature of this organism makes routine isolation and identification challenging. We report two cases of B. holmesii bacteremia that were rapidly identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) when standard ...

Bordetella Holmesii Endocarditis

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2014
The second case of Bordetella holmesii endocarditis in a pediatric patient is presented. This patient had a prosthetic mitral valve and asplenia. He was successfully treated with 6 weeks of intravenous meropenem. We review all 9 other reported cases of endocarditis and summarize treatment and outcome.

Bordetella holmesii Bacteremia and Cellulitis in an Immunocompetent Patient

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2020
Abstract Bordetella holmesii is a pathogenic gram-negative rod, first identified in 1995. Most human infections have been reported in immunocompromised patients with a respiratory syndrome or bacteremia. Here, we report B.

Bordetella holmesii bacteremia in a renal transplant recipient: emergence of a new pathogen

Transplant Infectious Disease, 2012
International audienceBordetella holmesii is a gram-negative rod that was initially identified in 1995. It causes bacteremia, pneumonia, and endocarditis mostly in patients with anatomical or functional asplenia.

Bordetella holmesii: Causative agent of pertussis

Archives de Pédiatrie
Bordetella holmesii is a bacterium recently recognized in 1995. It is a gram-negative coccobacillus that can cause pertussis-like symptoms in humans as well as invasive infections. It is often confused with Bordetella pertussis because routine diagnostic tests for whooping cough are not species-specific. The prevalence of B.

Bordetella holmesii in asplenic patients: a new pathogen?

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2012
Bordetella holmesii is a Gram-negative organism recently recognised as a human pathogen. It can colonise the upper respiratory tract causing respiratory illness and can cause invasive infection, particularly in asplenic patients. The American Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported a series of 26 patients with B. holmesii bacteraemia, of

Bordetella holmesii meningitis in an asplenic patient with systemic lupus erythematosus

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012
Bordetella holmesii is a slow-growing, Gram-negative, non-oxidizing bacillus with colonies that produce a brown soluble pigment and was originally described by Weyant et al. (1995) as CDC nonoxidizer group 2 (NO-2). It has recently been shown that B.

Functional characterization of the BvgAS two-component system of Bordetella holmesii

Microbiology, 2004
The BvgAS two-component system is the master regulator of virulence gene expression in the mammalian pathogens Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica. This paper reports the partial cloning and characterization of the bvgAS loci of the ‘new’ Bordetella species Bordetella holmesii, Bordetella trematum and Bordetella

Bronchitis caused by Bordetella holmesii in a child with asthma misdiagnosed as mycoplasmal infection

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2013
We report a case of a bronchitis caused by Bordetella holmesii in a 2-year-old girl with asthma. The patient had a moderate fever and productive cough, and her condition was initially diagnosed as mycoplasmal bronchitis on the basis of her clinical symptoms and rapid serodiagnosis of mycoplasmal infection.

Evaluation of three real-time PCR methods for the detection and the differentiation of Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella holmesii [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases
Whooping cough, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is a re-emerging vaccine-preventable respiratory disease with serious complications, especially in infants, making early and accurate diagnosis essential. This study aimed to compare the clinical performance of three PCR methods for Bordetella detection, highlighting the importance of CE-IVDR-certified ...
