Comparison of Bordetella species identification among differing rt-PCR assays in the United States [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
In the United States, the general laboratory method for diagnosing pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is real-time PCR (rt-PCR) targeting insertion sequence 481 (IS481).

Whole-Genome Sequences of Bacteremia Isolates of Bordetella holmesii. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2017
ABSTRACT Bordetella holmesii causes respiratory and invasive diseases in humans, but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. We report here the genome sequences of seven bacteremia isolates of B. holmesii , including the type strain.

Bordetella holmesii in children suspected of pertussis in Argentina. [PDF]

Epidemiol Infect, 2013
SUMMARYWe describe nine patients (eight aged <1 year) clinically diagnosed with pertussis yet laboratory-confirmed withBordetella holmesiiinfections, a human pathogen normally isolated from blood. Most patients reported cough and cold symptoms. No death was reported. We reportB. holmesiiisolation in infants with respiratory symptoms in Argentina.

Bordetella holmesii: initial genomic analysis of an emerging opportunist [PDF]

Pathogens and Disease, 2013
Bordetella holmesii is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that causes respiratory disease in healthy individuals and invasive infections among patients lacking splenic function. We used 16S rRNA gene analysis to confirm B. holmesii as the cause of bacteremia in a child with sickle cell disease.

Bordetella holmesii bacteremia in sickle cell disease [PDF]

Pediatric Blood and Cancer, 2008
AbstractPatients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have an increased risk of invasive bacterial infection because of hyposplenism. Bordetella holmesii is a recently described Gram‐negative coccobacillus with an apparent predilection for asplenic hosts. We report two patients with SCD and B. holmesii bacteremia. Fastidious growth in culture and a typically

Bordetella holmesii-Like Organisms Isolated from Massachusetts Patients with Pertussis-Like Symptoms

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We isolated Bordetella holmesii, generally associated with septicemia in patients with underlying conditions, from nasopharyngeal specimens of otherwise healthy young persons with a cough. The proportion of B.

Bordetella holmesii: Still Emerging and Elusive 20 Years On

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT Since the first description of Bordetella holmesii in 1995, almost 100 publications have contributed to the increasing knowledge of this emerging bacterium. Although first reported to induce bacteremia mainly in immunocompromised patients, it has also been isolated in healthy persons and has shown

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.

Prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Bordetella holmesii, an Acinetobacter lookalike

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012
We report a case of fulminant endocarditis on a prosthetic homograft aortic valve caused by Bordetella holmesii, which was successfully managed by surgical valve replacement and antibiotic treatment. B. holmesii, a strictly aerobic, small, Gram-negative coccobacillus, has been implicated as an infrequent cause of a pertussis-like syndrome and other ...
