Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness During the 2023/2024 Season: A Test‐Negative Case–Control Study Among Emergency Hospital Admissions With Respiratory Conditions in Northern Ireland

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background We evaluated the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine programme against infection among emergency hospital admissions with respiratory conditions in Northern Ireland during the 2023/2024 influenza season. Methods Using a test‐negative design, we compared the odds of vaccination between patients who tested positive (cases) and ...

The Role of the Aceullular Pertussis Vaccine and the Comeback of 'Pertussis Pete'?

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
Pertussis or whooping cough is an acute infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused principally by Bordetella pertussis and less commonly by Bordetella parapertussis (1).

A multidomain hydrolase from the thermophile Thermanaeromonas toyohensis degrades high molecular mass forms of polyhydroxybutyrate

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The use of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) bioplastics has the potential to create a circular and sustainable recycling plastic system. Here, we focus on PHB degradation and characterize the multidomain PHB hydrolyzing enzyme from the extremophile Thermanaeromonas tohohensis.

Conserved Patterns of Symmetric Inversion in the Genome Evolution of Bordetella Respiratory Pathogens

mSystems, 2019
Whooping cough (pertussis), primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis, has resurged in the United States, and circulating strains exhibit considerable chromosome structural fluidity in the form of rearrangement and deletion.

Blood or Serum Exposure Induce Global Transcriptional Changes, Altered Antigenic Profile, and Increased Cytotoxicity by Classical Bordetellae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The classical bordetellae sense and respond to a variety of environments outside and within their mammalian hosts. By causing inflammation and tissue damage, we reasoned that bordetellae are likely to encounter components of blood and/or serum during the

Species interactions may help explain the erratic periodicity of whooping cough dynamics

Epidemics, 2018
Incidence of whooping cough exhibits variable dynamics across time and space. The periodicity of this disease varies from annual to five years in different geographic regions in both developing and developed countries.

Detection of small RNAs in Bordetella pertussis and identification of a novel repeated genetic element

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Small bacterial RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in numerous prokaryotic species. Some of them are involved in the regulation of virulence in pathogenic bacteria. So far,

Comparative study of hemolytic activity of Bordetella species

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2009
Background and objectives: Bordetella species colonize the respiratory tract of mammals and thereby cause the whooping cough. Most of the species produce adenylate cyclase - a toxin ( hemolysin ) responsible for increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP)
