The effect of fresh guinea-pig serum on the toxicity of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis has been investigated. Cultures were grown on Bordet-Gengou medium, mixed with fresh guinea-pig serum and injected into mice by the intraperitoneal route ...

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

Conversion of Bordetella pertussis to Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]
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

In vitro susceptibilities of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis to seven fluoroquinolones [PDF]
The in vitro susceptibilities of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis to seven fluoroquinolones were assessed by the agar dilution method. Ciprofloxacin and temafloxacin were the most active compounds (MIC for 90% of isolates tested [MIC90], 0.06 microgram/ml), while enoxacin and pefloxacin were the least active (MIC90, 0.5 microgram/ml ...

The type III secreted protein BspR regulates the virulence genes in Bordetella bronchiseptica. [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis: two immunologically distinct species [PDF]
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 ...
