A Rare Cause of Newborn Apnea That Has Not Been Seen for A Very Long Time with the Effect of the Vaccine: Pertussis

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine, 2023
Pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in newborn and infancy. Pertussis is diagnosed clinically. It is confirmed by microbiological-serological tests. In recent years, polymerase chain reaction method

Pertussis post-exposure prophylaxis among household contacts: a cost-utility analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Recent pertussis outbreaks have prompted re-examination of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) strategies, when immunization is not immediately protective.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles and vaccine applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Vaccines based on outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were developed more than 20 years ago against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. These nano-sized structures exhibit remarkable potential for immunomodulation of immune responses and delivery of “self ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Secretion of Pertussis Toxin from Bordetella pertussis [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Production and secretion of pertussis toxin (PT) is essential for the virulence of Bordetella pertussis. Due to the large oligomeric structure of PT, transport of the toxin across bacterial membrane barriers represents a significant hurdle that the bacteria must overcome in order to maintain pathogenicity.

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

open access: yes, 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,

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

open access: yes, 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.

Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.
