Surface Proteins of Bordetella pertussis
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1988Bordetella pertussis cells express multiple virulence-associated surface proteins, including adenylate cyclase, agglutinogens 2 and 3, filamentous hemagglutinin, pertussis toxin, and outer-membrane protein (Omp) 30/32 and Omp91. Surface proteins that are not virulence-associated include three peptidoglycan-associated Omps of apparent molecular weights ...

Surface Antigens of Bordetella Pertussis
1985Bordetella pertussis and other Bordetella species cause respiratory infections in humans and in a variety of animals. Clinical isolates of B. pertussis have multiple virulence factors, several of which have been reported to induce protective immunity.

Pertussis in the Era of New Strains of Bordetella pertussis
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2015Despite implementation of a successful vaccination program, pertussis remains a significant health problem. Although the incidence of pertussis in the United States is reduced by approximately 80% compared with incidence before the introduction of vaccination in the 1940s, deaths still occur and the unrecognized disease burden remains high, with 1 ...

The detoxification of Bordetella pertussis with glutaraldehyde
Journal of Biological Standardization, 1987To improve the whole-cell pertussis vaccine we have studied the inactivation of the biological properties characteristic of Bordetella pertussis phase I bacteria, i.e. histamine-sensitizing, lymphocytosis-promoting and mouse protective activities, by treating a concentrated bacterial suspension with various concentrations of glutaraldehyde.

Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis
2010Nasopharyngeal aspirates, nasal swabs or throat swabs may be processed for Bordetella pertussis/parapertussis detection. Sputum, endotracheal tube aspirates, and BAL fluids are also occasionally processed for B. pertussis/parapertussis detection.

Pertussis toxin (Bordetella pertussis)
1997Abstract PT (Sekura et al. 1985) is a protein of 105 000 daltons composed of five noncovalently linked subunits named 51 through 55, and organized into two functional domains called A and B (Tamura et al. 1982). The A domain, which is composed of the 51 subunit, is an enzyme that intoxicates eukaryotic cells by ADP-ribosylating their GTP¬

Virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1988Clearly, B. pertussis has evolved very elaborate mechanisms to maintain itself in the human host. Three different proteins (FHA, pertussis toxin and fimbriae) have been implicated in adherence. Furthermore, a number of toxins are produced (pertussis toxin, adenylate cyclase, dermonecrotic toxin, and tracheal cytotoxin) which destroy the clearance ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Bordetella pertussis
2019Although vaccination has been effective, Bordetella pertussis is increasingly causing epidemics, especially in industrialized countries using acellular vaccines (aPs). One factor behind the increased circulation is the molecular changes on the pathogen level.
