Immunomodulation as a Novel Strategy for Prevention and Treatment of Bordetella spp. Infections [PDF]
Well-adapted pathogens have evolved to survive the many challenges of a robust immune response. Defending against all host antimicrobials simultaneously would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, so many co-evolved organisms utilize ...

Bordetella hinzii Pneumonia and Bacteremia in a Patient with SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection may have bacterial co-infections, including pneumonia and bacteremia. Bordetella hinzii infections are rare, may be associated with exposure to poultry, and have been reported mostly

Human infections associated with Bordetella bronchiseptica [PDF]
This study examines the potential of Bordetella bronchiseptica to act as a human pathogen. After encountering two patients from whom B. bronchiseptica was isolated, we searched the literature and found 23 reports in which a human infection was reported in association with B. bronchiseptica.

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii–Associated Pertussis-Like Illness, Northern India, 2019–2023 [PDF]
We investigated Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis in 935 suspected pertussis cases in northern India (2019–2023) using PCR and serology. B. holmesii showed increased prevalence in pertussis cases, particularly in older children, highlighting ...
