Differential expression of type III effector BteA protein due to IS481 insertion in Bordetella pertussis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Bordetella pertussis is the primary etiologic agent of the disease pertussis. Universal immunization programs have contributed to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality of pertussis; however, incidence of the disease, especially ...

Saliva and Anterior Nasal Samples for Detecting Respiratory Viruses in Children

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT For detecting respiratory viruses, a nasopharyngeal swab sample for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays has been the benchmark. Less discomfort related to sampling is requested especially for children, and thus other sample types have been suggested.

Positivity analysis of Bordetella spp. and SARS-CoV-2 coinfections in clinical samples from Colombia, 2021–2022

Microbiology Spectrum
Pertussis and COVID-19 are respiratory diseases with similar clinical manifestations, complicating diagnosis. In Colombia, pertussis surveillance is based on probable cases confirmed through laboratory detection of Bordetella pertussis.

Four single-basepair mutations in the ptx promoter of Bordetella bronchiseptica are sufficient to activate the expression of pertussis toxin

Scientific Reports, 2021
Secretion of pertussis toxin (PT) is the preeminent virulence trait of the human pathogen Bordetella pertussis, causing whooping cough. Bordetella bronchiseptica, although it harbors an intact 12-kb ptx–ptl operon, does not express PT due to an inactive ...

Investigating genome reduction of Bordetella pertussis using a multiplex PCR-based reverse line blot assay (mPCR/RLB) [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The genetic composition of the bacterium causing whooping cough, Bordetella pertussis, has been investigated using microarray studies in order to examine potential genetic contributors to the disease re-emergence in the past decade.

Probing the Genome-Scale Metabolic Landscape of Bordetella pertussis, the Causative Agent of Whooping Cough

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017
Whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. Despite widespread vaccination, its incidence has been rising alarmingly, and yet, the physiology of B. pertussis remains poorly understood.

Childhood and Adolescent Environmental Risk Factors for Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2025.
The review analyzed 87 studies from 20 countries on environmental risk factors for MS. EBV infection increased MS risk, while breastfeeding showed limited protection. Adverse social experiences, active smoking, and obesity in childhood/adolescence raised risk, whereas normal BMI was protective.
