Evaluation of real-time PCR for detection of and discrimination between Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, and Bordetella holmesii for clinical diagnosis.

Journal of clinical microbiology, 2003
PCR is increasingly being used as a diagnostic test for the detection of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis DNA, as it has improved sensitivity and specificity in comparison to conventional techniques. The assay described here uses the two insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001 for B. pertussis and B.

Bordetella holmesii Contamination of Platelet Concentrates: Revisiting the Definition of a Positive Culture. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2018
Bacterial contamination remains the most important infectious risk of platelet transfusion. After an initially positive result, a second test is performed on the blood products and the initial culture bottle to confirm the contamination.

Significant finding of Bordetella holmesii DNA in nasopharyngeal samples from French patients with suspected pertussis. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2011
Pertussis is routinely diagnosed with real-time PCR based on insertion sequence IS481, which is not specific for Bordetella pertussis. We conducted a retrospective study using real-time PCRs specific for Bordetella pertussis and for Bordetella holmesii ...

Physicians' prediction for the assessment of atypical pathogens in respiratory tract infections

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 226-234, November 2020., 2020
Our study indicates that while physicians' predictions were associated with the detection of atypical pathogens, overestimation was observed. The criteria for atypical pneumonia did not perform well for accurately diagnosing atypical pathogen infection in patients with a fever and cough.
