Spondylodiscitis caused by Bordetella holmesii, a misrecognized pathogen emerging in invasive infections [PDF]

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

Bordetella holmesii in nasopharyngeal samples from Chilean patients with suspected Bordetella pertussis infection. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2012
We read the article of Njamkepo et al. ([5][1]) with great interest. These authors report the finding of Bordetella holmesii DNA in 177 IS 481 -positive nasopharyngeal samples from French patients with suspected pertussis.

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 isolated from a patient with sickle cell anemia: analysis and comparison with other Bordetella holmesii isolates [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2000
To analyze a Bordetella holmesii isolate from a patient with sickle cell anemia and to compare it with other B. holmesii strains and isolates and with strains of B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica, two well-characterized species of the Bordetella genus.The bacteriological characteristics and proteins produced by the B.

Bordetella holmesii bacteremia in sickle cell disease. [PDF]

Pediatr Blood 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

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good: the current reality of Bordetella testing [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Diagnosis 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.

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.

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).

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

Pathog Dis, 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.
