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

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

Presence of Bordetella holmesii in an outbreak of pertussis in Chile
The incidence of whooping cough in Chile ranges from 4.1 and 7.5 per hundred thousand inhabitants. B. pertussis detection is performed by Real Time PCR (Q-PCR) directed to the insertion sequence IS481.
