A real-time PCR assay with improved specificity for detection and discrimination of all clinically relevant Bordetella species by the presence and distribution of three Insertion Sequence elements

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background In Dutch laboratories molecular detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis is commonly based on insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001, respectively. Both IS elements are more widely spread among Bordetella species. Both Bordetella holmesii,

Laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR in Japan: evidence for Bordetella pertussis infection in preteens and teens

New Microbes and New Infections, 2015
Between January 2013 and December 2014, we conducted laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR, which discriminates among Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Bordetella holmesii and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Rapid PCR Detection of Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum

International Journal of Bacteriology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Objective. We compared laboratory developed real‐time PCR assays for detection of Mycoplasma hominis and for detection and differentiation of Ureaplasma urealyticum and parvum to culture using genitourinary specimens submitted for M. hominis and Ureaplasma culture. Methods.

Isolation of Bordetella Species from Unusual Infection Sites [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Bordetella hinzii has been isolated mainly from respiratory specimens and fromblood of immunocompromised patients, and Bordetella trematum from ear infections or leg, armand ankle wounds and from diabetic foot ulcers. Bordetella holmesii is

Detection of Bordetella pertussis from Clinical Samples by Culture and End‐Point PCR in Malaysian Patients

International Journal of Bacteriology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Pertussis or whooping cough is a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. In vaccinating countries, infants, adolescents, and adults are relevant patients groups. A total of 707 clinical specimens were received from major hospitals in Malaysia in year 2011.

False-Positive Diagnostics of Bordetella Pertussis using IS481 PCR is Limited in Danish Patients [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Bordetella pertussis is routinely detected using real-time PCR based on the multicopy insertion sequence IS481, which is not specific for Bordetella pertussis.

Treatments affecting splenic function as a risk factor for valvular heart disease in Childhood Cancer Survivors: A DCCSS‐LATER study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 71, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Purpose Splenectomy might be a risk factor for valvular heart disease (VHD) in adult Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. As this risk is still unclear for childhood cancer survivors (CCS), the aim of this study is to evaluate the association between treatments affecting splenic function (splenectomy and radiotherapy involving the spleen) and VHD in ...

Identification and regulation of expression of a gene encoding a filamentous hemagglutinin-related protein in Bordetella holmesii

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background Bordetella holmesii is a human pathogen closely related to B. pertussis, the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is able to cause disease in immunocompromised patients, but also whooping cough-like symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals.
