Bordetella holmesii Bacteremia and Cellulitis in an Immunocompetent Patient
Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2020Abstract 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: Causative agent of pertussis
Archives de PédiatrieBordetella 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: Comparison of Two Isolates from Blood and a Respiratory Sample ()
International audienceInterest in Bordetella holmesii is increasing, but very little is known about this bacterium, which can be isolated fromboth blood and respiratory samples. In this study, we compared a B. holmesii isolate from the blood sample of an

Bordetella holmesii in asplenic patients: a new pathogen?
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2012Bordetella 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, 2012Bordetella 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.

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.

Functional characterization of the BvgAS two-component system of Bordetella holmesii
Microbiology, 2004The 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

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

Septic arthritis caused by Bordetella holmesii in an adolescent with chronic haemolytic anaemia
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2011We describe a case of septic arthritis caused by Bordetella holmesii in a 15-year-old boy with chronic haemolytic anaemia. B. holmesii was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The patient outcome was favourable. To our knowledge, this is the first case of B. holmesii septic arthritis in an asplenic patient.
