sigE facilitates the adaptation of Bordetella bronchiseptica to stress conditions and lethal infection in immunocompromised mice

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background The cell envelope of a bacterial pathogen can be damaged by harsh conditions in the environment outside a host and by immune factors during infection.

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

mBio
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 ...

The Tripartite Tricarboxylate Transporters (TTT) : The neglected family of high-affinity uptake systems [PDF]

, 2018
Bacteria inhabiting complex environments must possess efficient ways of acquiring nutrients, often present in low concentrations. In this context, Solute Binding Protein (SBP) dependent transporters make use of a periplasmic binding protein to bind ...

Laboratory Survey of Fluoroquinolone Activity [PDF]

, 2017
Fluoroquinolones are active against a wide variety of bacteria. The antibacterial spectra of fluoroquinolones encompass staphylococci, Bacillus species, and Corynebacterium species implicated in infections of the immunocompromised host ...

Determination of Serum Antibody to Bordetella pertussis Adenylate Cyclase Toxin in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children and in Children and Adults with Pertussis [PDF]

, 2017
Presence of antibody to adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) has been noted following Bordetella pertussis infection. Because ACT is not presently in any acellular pertussis vaccines, it has been considered as a possible antigen to use in B.

Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious diseases. [PDF]

, 2010
Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious agents may result from disruption of normal host barriers or dysregulation of cellular immunity, the latter serving to promote survival of the infectious agent through immune evasion.

A probabilistic model for gene content evolution with duplication, loss, and horizontal transfer

, 2005
We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gene loss, in addition to branch lengths in the phylogeny. The likelihood for

Prevalence of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis in Samples Submitted for RSV Screening

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2008
BACKGROUND: The clinical presentation of Bordetella pertussis can overlap with that of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); however, management differs.HYPOTHESIS: First, the prevalence of B.
