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 ...

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.

Bordetella parapertussis Circumvents Neutrophil Extracellular Bactericidal Mechanisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 B. parapertussis is a whooping cough etiological agent with the ability to evade the immune response induced by pertussis vaccines. We previously demonstrated that in the absence of opsonic antibodies B.

The type III secreted protein BspR regulates the virulence genes in Bordetella bronchiseptica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bordetella bronchiseptica is closely related with B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, the causative agents of whooping cough. These pathogenic species share a number of virulence genes, including the gene locus for the type III secretion system (T3SS ...
