Natural History and Ecology of Interactions Between Bordetella Species and Amoeba [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
A variety of bacteria have evolved the ability to interact with environmental phagocytic predators such as amoebae, which may have facilitated their subsequent interactions with phagocytes in animal hosts.

Comparison of Bordetella species identification among differing rt-PCR assays in the United States [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
In the United States, the general laboratory method for diagnosing pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is real-time PCR (rt-PCR) targeting insertion sequence 481 (IS481).

A newly discovered Bordetella species carries a transcriptionally active CRISPR-Cas with a small Cas9 endonuclease. [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2015
Background Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated genes (cas) are widely distributed among bacteria.

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

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.

Detection of small RNAs in Bordetella pertussis and identification of a novel repeated genetic element [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Small bacterial RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of gene expression and have been identified in numerous prokaryotic species. Some of them are involved in the regulation of virulence in pathogenic bacteria. So far,

Pneumonia caused by Bordetella hinzii: A case report [PDF]

Infectious Medicine
As well known, the species of Bordetella, such as Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are prevalent respiratory tract pathogens. Bordetella hinzii, another species of Bordetella genus, Bordetella hinzii could cause meningitis, bacteremia ...

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good: the current reality of Bordetella testing [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
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.

The virulence regulator bvgS controls nutrient-induced filamentation in Bordetella avium [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology
Bacteria can change morphology in response to stressors and changes in their environment, including infection of a host. We previously identified the bacterial species, Bordetella atropi, which uses nutrient-induced filamentation as a novel mechanism for

Comparative study of hemolytic activity of Bordetella species

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2009
Background and objectives: Bordetella species colonize the respiratory tract of mammals and thereby cause the whooping cough. Most of the species produce adenylate cyclase - a toxin ( hemolysin ) responsible for increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP)
