Do not let perfect be the enemy of good: the current reality of Bordetella testing
Diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis is made by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect insertion sequence 481 (IS481). However, IS481 is found in both B. pertussis and Bordetella holmesii. In a recent study, Cole et al.

Lienotoxicity Of Bordetella Pertussis In Mice [PDF]
Summary A highly toxic fraction causing dermonecrosis in guinea-pigs and a lethal effect in mice was obtained from Bordetella pertussis phase-1 organisms. Intravenous injection of this toxic fraction into mice produced a considerable reduction in spleen weight within 7 days. The histological findings indicate that B.
