To determine changes in Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis detection rates, we analyzed 1.43 million respiratory multiplex PCR test results from US facilities from 2019 through mid-2023. From mid-2022 through mid-2023, Bordetella spp.

The DNA fingerprints of 170 human isolates and ten ovine isolates of Bordetella parapertussis were examined by arbitrarily-primed PCR/RAPD with 29 primers. Based on this technique, all the human isolates appear highly genetically homogeneous.

Background and Objective: Rapid diagnosis of pertussis is important for the timely isolation of the infection source and early prevention measures among the contact persons, especially among non-vaccinated infants for whom pertussis is life- threatening.

Detection of Bordetella parapertussis in Clinical Samples Based on Real-Time PCR and Culture [PDF]
Background & Objectives: Parapertussis is a bacterial illness that is similar to pertussis (whooping cough) but is typically milder than pertussis. Parapertussis is caused by the bacterium Bordetella parapertussis.

Caracterización proteómica de Bordetella parapertussis
A pesar de que B. parapertussis fue aislada por primera vez en la década de 1930, sigue siendo un patógeno muy poco estudiado. Esto se debe en parte a que generalmente causa una forma más breve y leve de la enfermedad en comparación con B. pertussis. Sin embargo, recientemente se ha visto un aumento en el reporte de casos de tos convulsa causados por B.
