Bordetella Adenylate Cyclase-Hemolysin Toxins
Adenylate cyclase-hemolysin toxin is secreted and produced by three classical species of the genus Bordetella: Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica.

Virulence factor secretion and translocation by Bordetella species [PDF]
Here we review the Bordetella virulence secretome with an emphasis on factors that translocate into target cells. Recent advances in understanding the functions of adenylate cyclase toxin, a type 1 secretion system (T1SS) substrate, and pertussis toxin, a type IV secretion system (T4SS) substrate, are briefly described and a compilation of additional ...

Dissecting human T cell responses against Bordetella species. [PDF]
To identify the minimal structures that may be important for the creation of a synthetic and/or recombinant vaccine against whooping cough, human T cell clones were obtained against Bordetella antigens. Cloned peripheral blood T lymphocytes from an immune donor were grown in IL-2 and tested for proliferation in response to inactivated Bordetella ...

Isolation of Bordetella species from unusual infection sites
Introduction: Bordetella hinzii has been isolated mainly from respiratory specimens and from blood of immunocompromised patients, and Bordetella trematum from ear infections or leg, arm and ankle wounds and from diabetic foot ulcers. Bordetella holmesii is instead associated with bactaeremia in

Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis: two immunologically distinct species [PDF]
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are closely related species. Both are responsible for outbreaks of whooping cough in humans and produce similar virulence factors, with the exception of pertussis toxin, specific to B. pertussis. Current pertussis whole-cell vaccine will soon be replaced by acellular vaccines containing major adhesins ...

Multicenter Evaluation of the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel for the Detection of Viruses and Bacteria in Nasopharyngeal Swab Specimens [PDF]
The QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel (QIAstat-Dx RP) is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of 20 pathogens directly from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens. The assay is performed using a simple sample-to-answer platform with

The Bordetella genus is divided into two groups: classical and non-classical. Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis are known as classical bordetellae, a group of important human pathogens causing whooping cough or ...

Characterization of fimbrial subunits from Bordetella species [PDF]
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.

Acute pathogens such as Bordetella pertussis can cause severe disease but are ultimately cleared by the immune response. This has led to the accepted paradigm that convalescent immunity is optimal and therefore broadly accepted as the “gold standard ...
