Transmission of Bordetella holmesii during Pertussis Outbreak, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
We describe the epidemiology of a pertussis outbreak in Japan in 2010–2011 and Bordetella holmesii transmission. Six patients were infected; 4 patients were students and a teacher at the same junior high school.

Aerosol infection of mice with Bordetella pertussis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1980
Aerosol inhalation of Bordetella pertussis Tohama phase I resulted in a reproducible and uniform infection of mice (strain DDY or ICR). Mice in groups of 10 exposed for 30 min to aerosols generated from bacterial suspensions of 10(9) and 10(10) organisms per ml resulted in mean bacterial counts of 2.3 (+/- 0.3) X 10(4) and 1.0 (+/- 0.3) X 10(5) colony ...

DIAGNOSIS OF INFECTION WITH BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1987
In the past, three methods have been used to provide laboratory confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of infection with B.pertussis (Bp): culture, direct fluorescein-labelled antibody-stained smear (FA) and serology. Each, however, is frought with problems, including requirement for fresh, selective medium, slow growth of Bp organisms, interobserver ...

Bordetella bronchiseptica pneumonia in a man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2009
Introduction Bordetella bronchiseptica can be a cause of virulent pneumonia in humans with impaired immune systems. Few cases have been reported in the medical literature where Bordetella bronchiseptica has been the only pathogen isolated during a course

The seroepidemiology of Bordetella pertussis infection in Western Europe [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 2004
High titres of pertussis toxin (PT) antibody have been shown to be predictive of recent infection with Bordetella pertussis. The seroprevalence of standardized anti-PT antibody was determined in six Western European countries between 1994 and 1998 and related to historical surveillance and vaccine programme data.

The Pathology And Immunology Of Bordetella Pertussis Infection [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1972
Summary Strains of Bordetella pertussis, Bord. parapertussis and Bord. bronchiseptica adhered readily to live cultures of human fibroblasts. Sera from animals immunised against Bord. pertussis contain antibodies that specifically prevent the adhesion of Bord. pertussis to the cells. Anti-adhesion antibodies will not detach Bord.

Evaluation of PCR for Diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis Infections [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT PCR, using primers PIp1 and PIp2, was evaluated for the detection of DNA from Bordetella pertussis in bacterial strains and in nasopharyngeal samples from patients with a cough lasting at least 7 days. The assay could detect DNA from 6 CFU of B.

Prosthetic-Joint-Associated Bordetella holmesii Infection [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2015
Abstract Bordetella holmesii is a globally distributed pathogen that is increasingly recognized as a cause of both pertussis-like respiratory infections and invasive disease. In this study, we describe a case of an immunocompetent man who developed B holmesii infection of his femoral prosthesis—the fifth B holmesii orthopedic infection ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as
