Bordetella holmesii: an under-recognised Bordetella species

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2014
Bordetella holmesii, first described in 1995, is believed to cause both invasive infections (bacteraemia, meningitis, endocarditis, pericarditis, pneumonia, and arthritis) and pertussis-like symptoms. Infection with B holmesii is frequently misidentified as being with B pertussis, the cause of whooping cough, because routine diagnostic tests for ...

Missed pertussis diagnosis during co-infection with Bordetella holmesii

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2022
The purpose of this study is to identify predictive factors associated with missed diagnosis of B. pertussis-B. holmesii co-infection by assessing the analytical performance of a commercially available multiplexed PCR assay and by building a prediction model based on clinical signs and symptoms for detecting co-infections. This is a retrospective study

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 Bacteraemia in an Individual on Haemodialysis

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
A case of haemodialysis-associated bacteraemia due to Bordetella holmesii is described. Commercially available identification kits failed to identify the isolate, which was speciated using 16s rRNA gene sequencing. B. holmesii is a rare cause of bacteraemia, endocarditis and pneumonia in the immunosuppressed and may also cause a pertussis-like illness.

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 Meningitis in a 12-year-old Anorectic Girl

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2012
We describe a 12-year-old anorectic girl with Bordetella holmesii meningitis, the techniques used for its identification, and minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics for 7 B. Holmesii strains collected in the Netherlands during the past 12 years. B. holmesii meningitis has not been previously reported.

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. holmesii cellulitis and bacteremia in a healthy, immunocompetent young adult.

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
