Bordetella holmesii: an under-recognised Bordetella species

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2014
Bordetella holmesii, first described in 1995, is believed to cause both invasive infections (bacteraemia, meningitis, endocarditis, pericarditis, pneumonia, and arthritis) and pertussis-like symptoms. Infection with B holmesii is frequently misidentified as being with B pertussis, the cause of whooping cough, because routine diagnostic tests for ...

Bordetella Species Other than Bordetella pertussis

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2015
Most clinicians and microbiologists are familiar with Bordetella pertussis, its associated clinical syndromes and treatment with antimicrobials, and both biochemical and molecular methods for identification. Many of the other Bordetella species are much less well known, though they do cause clinical disease in humans.

Environmental regulation of virulence factors in Bordetella species

BioEssays, 1993
AbstractMany bacteria respond in a coordinate manner to environmental changes. External stimuli, sensed by receptors, are transduced to regulatory proteins which participate in well defined pathways of gene expression by varying their structure and mode of action. The network of environmental signal transduction is responsible for a fine and continuous

All species of the genus bordetella contain genes for pertussis toxin of bordetella pertussis

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1988
A molecular probe for the PT-operon of B. pertussis hybridized with 4.7 Kb EcoRI-fragments of chromosomal DNAs of B. pertussis strain 475 phase I, phase IV, B. parapertussis strains 504 and 17903, B. bronchiseptica strain 214, B. parapertussis strain 17903-convertant of B. pertussis phage 134 but not with phage 134 DNA under stringent conditions of DNA-

Genetic Regulation of Airway Colonization by Bordetella Species

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1996
Bordetella species are respiratory pathogens that infect humans and other animals. A majority of the virulence factors expressed by these bacteria are regulated by a master control locus, BvgAS, a member of the two-component family of signal transduction systems.

Multiple species and isoforms of Bordetella pertussis toxin substrates

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1988
In purified G proteins from bovine brain cortex the ADP-ribosylated substrates of Bordetella pertussis toxin (PT) can be resolved in three polypeptides by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis: a 39 kDa major substrate, corresponding to Go alpha and two others (40 and 41 kDa) assigned to alpha subunits of Gi-like proteins.

BvgAS Dependent Phenotypic Modulation of Bordetella Species

1995
Bordetella species cause respiratory tract infections in humans and other animals. Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis have adapted exclusively to the human host causing whooping cough (pertussis) and a milder pertussis-like disease, respectively.

Expression of Pertussis Toxin Correlates with Pathogenesis in Bordetella Species

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1989
Pertussis toxin is a principal determinant of virulence produced by Bordetella pertussis in the disease whooping cough and is the primary toxinogenic component of the pertussis vaccine. This toxin is not produced by the closely related species Bordetella parapertussis. Toxinogenic strains of B.

Fimbriae and determination of host species specificity of Bordetella bronchiseptica

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1993
A monoclonal antibody, designated CF8 and prepared against fimbrial protein enrichments of Bordetella bronchiseptica 110H, was determined by immunogold electron microscopy to bind to some but not all fimbrial filaments on intact bacterial cells. Comparison of the reactivity of this antibody with that of monoclonal antibody BPF2, which is specific for ...

[A new Bordetella species in sheep?].

Zentralblatt fur Veterinarmedizin. Reihe B. Journal of veterinary medicine. Series B, 1997
Occasionally the occurrence of isolates of the genus Bordetella has been reported, with unclear assignment to one of the known species in sheep from New Zealand and Great Britain. In this study we describe the isolation of strains belonging to the genus Bordetella in a flock of sheep from Germany.
