Vaccine, 2013 Bordetella parapertussis, a close related species of B. pertussis, can also cause the disease named pertussis or whooping cough. The number of cases caused by this related pathogen has risen sustained in the last years. The widely used cellular (wP) or acellular (aP) pertussis vaccines have little or no efficacy against B. parapertussis.

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,

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 ...

Role of phosphoglucomutase of Bordetella bronchiseptica in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and virulence [PDF]
, 2000 The phosphoglucomutase (PGM)-encoding gene of Bordetella bronchiseptica is required for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. An insertion mutant of the wild-type B.

Phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancient gene duplication as the origin of the MdtABC efflux pump. [PDF]
, 2020 The efflux pumps from the Resistance-Nodulation-Division family, RND, are main contributors to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Among this family, the MdtABC pump is unusual by having two inner membrane components.

In vitro susceptibilities of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis to seven fluoroquinolones [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1990 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 ...

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.

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.
