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.

Bordetella holmesiiBacteremia: A Newly Recognized Clinical Entity among Asplenic Patients [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004 Bordetella holmesii is a recently identified gram-negative bacterial species associated with bacteremia, endocarditis, and respiratory illness, mainly in immunocompromised patients. From isolates submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1983 through 2000 for further identification, we identified 30 patients with B.

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.

Prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Bordetella holmesii, an Acinetobacter lookalike
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012 We report a case of fulminant endocarditis on a prosthetic homograft aortic valve caused by Bordetella holmesii, which was successfully managed by surgical valve replacement and antibiotic treatment. B. holmesii, a strictly aerobic, small, Gram-negative coccobacillus, has been implicated as an infrequent cause of a pertussis-like syndrome and other ...
