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

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,

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.

Multicenter Evaluation of the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel for the Detection of Viruses and Bacteria in Nasopharyngeal Swab Specimens [PDF]

, 2020
The QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel (QIAstat-Dx RP) is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of 20 pathogens directly from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens. The assay is performed using a simple sample-to-answer platform with

The role of respiratory virus infection in suspected pertussis: A prospective study

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2021
Background: Infections caused by Bordetella pertussis are frequent and responsible for cases of huge severity in unvaccinated young infants. However, clinical manifestations vary and mimic other respiratory diseases as respiratory viruses.

Rising cases of pertussis in Albania: should we review our vaccination strategies? [PDF]

Exploration of Asthma & Allergy
Since January 2024, in Albania, we have noted an increased number of visits because of Bordetella pertussis affecting all age groups. The increased numbers reflect increased circulation of Bordetella pertussis in Albania.

Outer-Membrane-Vesicle-Associated O Antigen, a Crucial Component for Protecting Against Bordetella parapertussis Infection [PDF]

, 2018
Bordetella parapertussis is a respiratory-disease pathogen producing symptomatology similar to that of pertussis but of underestimated incidence and with no specific vaccine existing. We recently designed a vaccine candidate from B.

Detection of opsonizing antibodies directed against a recently circulating Bordetella pertussis strain in paired plasma samples from symptomatic and recovered pertussis patients. [PDF]

, 2018
Correlates of protection (CoPs) against the highly contagious respiratory disease whooping cough, caused by Bordetella pertussis, remain elusive. Characterizing the antibody response to this pathogen is essential towards identifying potential CoPs. Here,
