Positivity analysis of Bordetella spp. and SARS-CoV-2 coinfections in clinical samples from Colombia, 2021–2022 [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Pertussis and COVID-19 are respiratory diseases with similar clinical manifestations, complicating diagnosis. In Colombia, pertussis surveillance is based on probable cases confirmed through laboratory detection of Bordetella pertussis.

Missed pertussis diagnosis during co-infection with Bordetella holmesii

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Prosthetic-Joint-Associated Bordetella holmesii Infection. [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Forum Infect Dis, 2015
Abstract Bordetella holmesii is a globally distributed pathogen that is increasingly recognized as a cause of both pertussis-like respiratory infections and invasive disease. In this study, we describe a case of an immunocompetent man who developed B holmesii infection of his femoral prosthesis—the fifth B holmesii orthopedic infection ...

Bordetella holmesii, an emerging cause of septic arthritis. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Microbiol, 2013
ABSTRACT Bordetella holmesii is a well-described pathogen in asplenic and immunocompromised patients. Here we report the first two published cases of septic arthritis caused by B. holmesii documented in apparently immunocompetent patients and unaccompanied by bacteremia.
