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.

Molecular characterization of the BvgA response regulator of Bordetella holmesii

Microbiological Research, 2009
The BvgAS system controls the expression of most virulence factors in Bordetella pertussis. Recently, we identified an orthologous system in the related human pathogen Bordetella holmesii. However, while we found that the orthologous histidine kinases BvgS could be functionally exchanged between the two species, the B.

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.

Bordetella holmesii: Still Emerging and Elusive 20 Years On

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT Since the first description of Bordetella holmesii in 1995, almost 100 publications have contributed to the increasing knowledge of this emerging bacterium. Although first reported to induce bacteremia mainly in immunocompromised patients, it has also been isolated in healthy persons and has shown

Evaluation of real-time PCR for diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis infection

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006
Background Nucleic acid amplification of the IS481 region by PCR is more sensitive than culture for detection and diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis but the assay has known cross-reactivity for Bordetella holmesii and its use as a routine diagnostic assay

Characterization of a Highly Conserved Island in the Otherwise Divergent Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis Genomes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2006
ABSTRACT The recently discovered pathogen Bordetella holmesii has been isolated from the airways and blood of diseased humans. Genetic events contributing to the emergence of B. holmesii are not understood, and its phylogenetic position among the bordetellae remains unclear.

Prosthetic joint infection by Bordetella holmesii : Case report and a review of the literature [PDF]

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2020
Introduction: Bordetella holmesii is a Gram-negative coccobacillus involved in different infections mostly described in case reports. Prosthetic joint infections in relation to this pathogen are rare. Here, we present the third case of B. holmesii in a patient without anatomical or functional spleen dysfunction.

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.

Dental Surgery in an Asplenic Patient

Journal of International Clinical Dental Research Organization, 2020
Nonsurgical endodontic treatment is a highly predictable treatment option in most cases, but surgery may be indicated for teeth with persistent periradicular pathosis unresponsive to it.

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 ...
