Comparative analysis of the genome sequences of Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica [PDF]
Nature Genetics, 2003 Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica are closely related Gram-negative beta-proteobacteria that colonize the respiratory tracts of mammals. B. pertussis is a strict human pathogen of recent evolutionary origin and is the primary etiologic agent of whooping cough. B.

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 ...

Evolution of French Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis isolates: increase of Bordetellae not expressing pertactin [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2012 Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are closely related bacterial agents of whooping cough. Whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccine was introduced in France in 1959. Acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine was introduced in 1998 as an adolescent booster and was rapidly generalized to the whole population, changing herd immunity by specifically ...

Detection of small RNAs in
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Small bacterial RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in numerous prokaryotic species. Some of them are involved in the regulation of virulence in pathogenic bacteria. So far,

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.

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 ...
