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

Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis: two immunologically distinct species [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1993 Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are closely related species. Both are responsible for outbreaks of whooping cough in humans and produce similar virulence factors, with the exception of pertussis toxin, specific to B. pertussis. Current pertussis whole-cell vaccine will soon be replaced by acellular vaccines containing major adhesins ...

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 ...

T- and B-cell-mediated protection induced by novel, live attenuated pertussis vaccine in mice. Cross protection against parapertussis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Despite the extensive use of efficacious vaccines, pertussis still ranks among the major causes of childhood mortality worldwide. Two types of pertussis vaccines are currently available, whole-cell, and the more recent acellular vaccines ...
