Diagnosis of whooping cough in Switzerland: differentiating Bordetella pertussis from Bordetella holmesii by polymerase chain reaction.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bordetella holmesii, an emerging pathogen, can be misidentified as Bordetella pertussis by routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In some reports, up to 29% of the patients diagnosed with pertussis have in fact B.

The evolution of pertactin expression in Belgian circulating B. pertussis strains, pre- and post-COVID-19

Microbiology Spectrum
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bordetella pertussis strains not producing pertactin were globally increasing, especially in countries using the acellular pertussis vaccine. Subsequently, during the pandemic, global pertussis incidence dropped to extreme

Bordetella pertussisand Pertussis Vaccines [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2009
Bordetella pertussis is a human-specific pathogen that causes whooping cough. The use of pertussis whole-cell vaccines in infants and toddlers led to decreased circulation of the bacterium in the child population and a marked decrease in the incidence of the disease. However, vaccine does not result in life-long immunity; indeed, the circulation of the

Cytokine expression patterns in hospitalized children with Bordetella pertussis, Rhinovirus or co-infection

Scientific Reports, 2021
Mechanisms of interaction between Bordetella pertussis and other viral agents are yet to be fully explored. We studied the inflammatory cytokine expression patterns among children with both viral-bacterial infections.

Vaccination in pediatric transplantation—General recommendations. A position paper by the European Reference Network TransplantChild

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among pediatric transplant recipients, despite significant advances in transplantation management. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to prevent infections; however, its efficacy is hindered in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)

Genome-based prediction of cross-protective, HLA-DR-presented epitopes as putative vaccine antigens for multiple Bordetella species

Microbiology Spectrum
Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against severe pertussis, but vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time. Prior animal studies showed that T-cell responses are integral to long-lasting immunity.
