Characterization of fimbrial subunits from Bordetella species [PDF]

Microbial Pathogenesis, 1987
Using antisera raised against serotype 2 and 3 fimbrial subunits from Bordetella pertussis, serologically related polypeptides were detected in Bordetella bronchiseptica, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella avium strains. The two B. pertussis fimbrial subunits, and three of the serologically related B.

Diagnosis of whooping cough in Switzerland: differentiating Bordetella pertussis from Bordetella holmesii by polymerase chain reaction.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bordetella holmesii, an emerging pathogen, can be misidentified as Bordetella pertussis by routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In some reports, up to 29% of the patients diagnosed with pertussis have in fact B.

Serendipitous Discovery of an Immunoglobulin-Binding Autotransporter in Bordetella Species [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2008
ABSTRACT We describe the serendipitous discovery of BatB, a classical-type Bordetella autotransporter (AT) protein with an ∼180-kDa passenger domain that remains noncovalently associated with the outer membrane. Like genes encoding all characterized protein virulence factors in Bordetella

A real-time PCR assay with improved specificity for detection and discrimination of all clinically relevant Bordetella species by the presence and distribution of three Insertion Sequence elements [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background In Dutch laboratories molecular detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis is commonly based on insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001, respectively. Both IS elements are more widely spread among Bordetella species. Both Bordetella holmesii,

Bordetella pseudohinzii targets cilia and impairs tracheal cilia-driven transport in naturally acquired infection in mice

Scientific Reports, 2018
Several species of the Gram-negative genus Bordetella are the cause of respiratory infections in mammals and birds, including whooping cough (pertussis) in humans.

Occurrence of Bordetella Infection in Pigs in Northern India [PDF]

International Journal of Microbiology, 2014
Bordetella bronchiseptica infection causing atrophic rhinitis in pigs is reported from almost all countries. In the present study, occurrence of Bordetella infection in apparently healthy pigs was determined in 392 pigs sampled to collect 358 serum ...

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

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.

Biogenesis of outer-membrane vesicles in Bordetella species [PDF]

, 2022
The Gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis causes whooping cough, also known as pertussis, which is an infection of the respiratory tract in humans. Pertussis is most severe in newborns. Currently, babies are vaccinated against pertussis, but these vaccines do not protect sufficiently as appears from the increase in pertussis cases over the last ...

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

Conserved Patterns of Symmetric Inversion in the Genome Evolution of Bordetella Respiratory Pathogens

mSystems, 2019
Whooping cough (pertussis), primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis, has resurged in the United States, and circulating strains exhibit considerable chromosome structural fluidity in the form of rearrangement and deletion.
