Outer-Membrane-Vesicle–Associated O Antigen, a Crucial Component for Protecting Against Bordetella parapertussis Infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Bordetella parapertussis is a respiratory-disease pathogen producing symptomatology similar to that of pertussis but of underestimated incidence and with no specific vaccine existing. We recently designed a vaccine candidate from B.

Characterization of Post-Translational Modifications and Cytotoxic Properties of the Adenylate-Cyclase Hemolysin Produced by Various Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis Isolates [PDF]
Toxins, 2017 Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are the causal agents of whooping cough in humans. They produce diverse virulence factors, including adenylate cyclase-hemolysin (AC-Hly), a secreted toxin of the repeat in toxins (RTX) family with ...

Bordetella parapertussis survives inside human macrophages in lipid raft-enriched phagosomes. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 2014 Bordetella parapertussis is a human pathogen that causes whooping cough. The increasing incidence of B. parapertussis has been attributed to the lack of cross protection induced by pertussis vaccines. It was previously shown that B. parapertussis is able
