Bordetella parapertussis isolates not expressing pertactin circulating in France [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011 Surprisingly, most Bordetella parapertussis isolates collected in France since 2007 do not express pertactin, owing to mutations in the structural gene encoding this protein. We used a 454 pyrosequencing strategy to study and compare the genetics of two B.

A recombinant iron transport protein from Bordetella pertussis confers protection against Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 2017 ABSTRACTWhooping cough, which is caused by Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis, is a reemerging disease. New protective antigens are needed to improve the efficacy of current vaccines against both species. Using proteomic tools, it was here found that B.

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract The use of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) bioplastics has the potential to create a circular and sustainable recycling plastic system. Here, we focus on PHB degradation and characterize the multidomain PHB hydrolyzing enzyme from the extremophile Thermanaeromonas tohohensis.

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 29, Issue 5, August 2025.ABSTRACT Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in solid organ transplant recipients has been reported in adults. However, data on children are scarce. We report a case of an allogeneic HSCT in a 14‐year‐old girl to treat idiopathic very severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Case Presentation The girl developed end‐stage renal disease at the
