Structural characterization of Bordetella parapertussis lipid A [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Bordetella parapertussis like B. pertussis, is a causal agent of whooping cough but is not a strictly human pathogen. Because its endotoxin, a major structural component of the Gram-negative outer membrane, is an important virulence factor, we have ...

Molecular epidemiology and genomic features of Bordetella parapertussis in Shanghai, China, 2017–2022 [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundPertussis is a highly contagious respiratory illness mainly caused by Bordetella pertussis (BP). Bordetella parapertussis (BPP) can induce symptoms compatible with pertussis, but has been underdiagnosed and underreported.

Host Specificity of Ovine Bordetella parapertussis and the Role of Complement. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The classical bordetellae are comprised of three subspecies that differ from broad to very limited host specificity. Although several lineages appear to have specialized to particular host species, most retain the ability to colonize and grow in mice ...

Prevalence of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis in Samples Submitted for RSV Screening

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2008
BACKGROUND: The clinical presentation of Bordetella pertussis can overlap with that of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); however, management differs.HYPOTHESIS: First, the prevalence of B.

Multiplex real-time PCR assay for detection and differentiation of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2014
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.

Bordetella parapertussis Bacteremia: Clinical Expression and Bacterial Genomics. [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis, 2019
Whooping cough's primary etiological agent is Bordetella pertussis. The closely related Bordetella parapertussis rarely causes severe disease. Here we report an unusual case of bacteremia caused by B. parapertussis, review the literature, and characterize the genomic sequence of the bacterial isolate in comparison with B.

Complete Structures of Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis Lipopolysaccharides [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006
The structures of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core and O antigen of Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis are known, but how these two regions are linked to each other had not been determined. We have studied LPS from several strains of these microorganisms to determine the complete carbohydrate structure of the LPS.

Conversion of Bordetella pertussis to Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1978
SUMMARYThe epidemiological and drug susceptibility data on whooping cough suggested a possibility that Bordetella pertussis converts in some way to Bordetella parapertussis. To prove this, B. pertussis strain 75 was treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and a mutant resistant to staphcillin V and eight mutants resistant to trimethoprim were
