Development of a real-time PCR for the identification of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007
This study describes a real-time PCR assay for the detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis. The assay is based on amplification of a fragment from the repeat sequence regions IS481 and IS1001 found in B. pertussis and B.

Bbvac: A Live Vaccine Candidate That Provides Long-Lasting Anamnestic and Th17-Mediated Immunity against the Three Classical Bordetella spp.

mSphere, 2022
Acute pathogens such as Bordetella pertussis can cause severe disease but are ultimately cleared by the immune response. This has led to the accepted paradigm that convalescent immunity is optimal and therefore broadly accepted as the “gold standard ...

Pathogenicity and virulence of Bordetella pertussis and its adaptation to its strictly human host

Virulence, 2021
The highly contagious whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis has evolved as a human-restricted pathogen from a progenitor which also gave rise to Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Addressing the consequences of missing vaccines: A case report of pertussis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
Pertussis, caused primarily by Bordetella pertussis and occasionally by Bordetella parapertussis, remains a major public health issue despite widespread vaccination efforts. Immunocompromised children, such as those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, are

Inefficient Toll-like receptor-4 stimulation enables Bordetella parapertussis to avoid host immunity.

PLoS ONE, 2009
The recognition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by host Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 is a crucial step in developing protective immunity against several gram negative bacterial pathogens. Bordetella bronchiseptica and B.

Characteristics and Risk Factors Associated With Hospitalization and Severe Disease in Patients Aged ≥ 60 Years With Human Metapneumovirus Infection Over Three Consecutive Seasons (2021–2024) in Valladolid, Spain. The VALLAVIRUS Study

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory pathogen often underestimated in the elderly. Although studies suggest it causes around 10% of respiratory hospitalizations in the United States, national and local data remain scarce.
