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 ...

Microbiological, Molecular Diagnosis and Antimicrobial Resistance of Bordetella bronchiseptica in the Equine Reproductive Tract in Brazil. [PDF]
Vet Med SciFirst report of Bordetella bronchiseptica in the reproductive tract of Brazilian mares. Uterine lavage samples from mares with endometritis and infertility were positive by culture, PCR (237 bp flaA), sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Isolates showed multidrug resistance, emphasizing the relevance of this pathogen in equine reproductive disorders ...
