We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by Bordetella holmesii, an emergent pathogen. This small Gram-negative rod was first known as a cause of invasive infections on asplenic patients. This case describes a spondylodiscitis due to this bacterium in

Bordetella pertussis re-emergence - NGS-based RPTM analysis reveals the atypical clinical features of children [PDF]
Background Bordetella pertussis (BP) infection has risen rapidly in pediatrics recently, and next-generation sequencing has significantly improved pertussis’ early diagnosis. High detection rates raise the concern of pertussis re-emergence.

A comprehensive resource for Bordetella genomic epidemiology and biodiversity studies [PDF]
The genus Bordetella includes bacteria that are found in the environment and/or associated with humans and other animals. A few closely related species, including Bordetella pertussis, are human pathogens that cause diseases such as whooping cough. Here,

Network model of immune responses reveals key effectors to single and co-infection dynamics by a respiratory bacterium and a gastrointestinal helminth [PDF]
Co-infections alter the host immune response but how the systemic and local processes at the site of infection interact is still unclear. The majority of studies on co-infections concentrate on one of the infecting species, an immune function or group of

Molecular evolution of the two-component system BvgAS involved in virulence regulation in Bordetella. [PDF]
The whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis is closely related to Bordetella bronchiseptica, which is responsible for chronic respiratory infections in various mammals and is occasionally found in humans, and to Bordetella parapertussis, one lineage of

Intracranial Infection of Mice with Bordetella pertussis [PDF]
SUMMARY: A bacteriological and histological study was made of the sequence of events in unprotected and protected mice, after intracranial challenge with Bordetella pertussis. No difference in the results was obtained whether mice were injected through the parietal bone or through the foramen magnum.
