PgaB orthologues contain a glycoside hydrolase domain that cleaves deacetylated poly-β(1,6)-N-acetylglucosamine and can disrupt bacterial biofilms.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2018
Poly-β(1,6)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (PNAG) is a major biofilm component of many pathogenic bacteria. The production, modification, and export of PNAG in Escherichia coli and Bordetella species require the protein products encoded by the pgaABCD operon ...

Phg, a novel member of the autotransporter family present in Bordetella species

open access: yesMicrobiological Research, 2005
Several proteins encoded in the genomes of Bordetella species show significant sequence similarity to the autotransporter domains of surface exposed or secreted virulence factors of bordetellae such as pertactin, tracheal colonization factor or Vag8.

Bordetella bronchialis sp. nov., Bordetella flabilis sp. nov. and Bordetella sputigena sp. nov., isolated from human respiratory specimens, and reclassification of Achromobacter sediminum Zhang et al. 2014 as Verticia sediminum gen. nov., comb. nov. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of four Bordetella hinzii-like strains from human respiratory specimens and representing nrdA gene sequence based genogroups 3, 14 and 15 were examined. In a 16S rRNA gene sequence based phylogenetic tree, the

The Bordetella effector protein BteA induces host cell death by disruption of calcium homeostasis

open access: yesmBio
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough in humans, a disease that has recently experienced a resurgence. In contrast, Bordetella bronchiseptica infects the respiratory tract of various mammalian species, causing a range of symptoms ...

Development of a real-time PCR for the identification of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis

open access: yes, 2007
This study describes a real-time PCR assay for the detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis. The assay is based on amplification of a fragment from the repeat sequence regions IS481 and IS1001 found in B ...

Phase shift markers in Bordetella: alterations in envelope proteins

open access: yes, 1981
Envelope preparations derived from phase I strains of Bordetella pertussis were shown to contain at least 10 major proteins or protein subunits. Four of these proteins were either missing or produced in much lower concentrations in phase IV strains and ...
