A real-time PCR assay with improved specificity for detection and discrimination of all clinically relevant Bordetella species by the presence and distribution of three Insertion Sequence elements

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background In Dutch laboratories molecular detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis is commonly based on insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001, respectively. Both IS elements are more widely spread among Bordetella species. Both Bordetella holmesii,

Natural History and Ecology of Interactions Between Bordetella Species and Amoeba

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
A variety of bacteria have evolved the ability to interact with environmental phagocytic predators such as amoebae, which may have facilitated their subsequent interactions with phagocytes in animal hosts.

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 ...

A Small‐Scale Regional External Quality Assessment of Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests for Bordetella pertussis in China

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 16, August 2026.
An external quality assessment (EQA) was conducted to evaluate the performance of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for Bordetella pertussis across 69 laboratories in Chongqing, China. Among 345 total reports, 341 (98.8%) were concordant with expected results, while four false negatives occurred in low‐concentration samples near the analytical ...
