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.

ЧУВСТВИТЕЛЬНОСТЬ ШТАММОВ BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS К АНТИБАКТЕРИАЛЬНЫМ ПРЕПАРАТАМ

, 2020
178 strains of B. pertussis isolated from infected individuals in various regions of Russia from 1948 to 2012 have been studied for their susceptibility to six antibacterial preparations. It has been shown, that B. pertussis strains isolated from 1948 to

Structural and functional specialization of Bordetella pertussis DsbA for pertussis toxin folding. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Disulphide bonds (Dsbs) are essential for the folding, stability, and function of many secreted and membrane‐associated proteins in bacteria. In Gram‐negative species, these bonds are introduced by the Dsb enzyme family, with DsbA acting as the primary thiol oxidase.

Evolution of Bordetella pertussis over a 23-year period in France, 1996 to 2018

, 2021
International audienceBackground: Bordetella pertussis is the main agent of whooping cough. Vaccination with acellular pertussis vaccines has been largely implemented in high-income countries. These vaccines contain 1 to 5 antigens: pertussis toxin (PT),

The Culture of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1962
SUMMARY: Bordetella pertussis grew profusely and retained its normal minute coccobacillary form when grown under 0.4 mm. of fluid lying on a Cohen & Wheeler agar medium + charcoal. Microbes grown in this way were fully antigenic in terms of the mouse protection test. It was easy to obtain harvests of 1.2 x 1011 organisms/ml.

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

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
