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.

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

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,

Prevalence of SARS-COV-2 and other respiratory pathogens among a Jordanian subpopulation during Delta-to-Omicron transition: Winter 2021/2022.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) during the winter months are associated with higher morbidity and mortality compared to other seasons of the year, with children below five, elderly, and immunocompromised patients being the most susceptible ...

Identification of a CO2 responsive regulon in Bordetella. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Sensing the environment allows pathogenic bacteria to coordinately regulate gene expression to maximize survival within or outside of a host. Here we show that Bordetella species regulate virulence factor expression in response to carbon dioxide levels ...

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.

Bordetella avium-associated endophthalmitis: case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Bordetella avium, an aerobic bacterium that rarely causes infection in humans, is a species of Bordetella that generally inhabits the respiratory tracts of turkeys and other birds. It causes a highly contagious bordetellosis.

Biochemical and Immunological Comparison of Lipopolysaccharides from Bordetella Species [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1990
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica were analysed for their chemical composition, molecular heterogeneity and immunological properties. All the LPS preparations contained heptose, 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid, glucosamine, uronic acid, phosphate and fatty acids.

Lipopolysaccharide bioengineering in Bordetella species

, 2023
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica are pathogenic bacteria responsible for respiratory diseases in mammals, including humans. B. pertussis causes whooping cough in humans, primarily affecting young children. Vaccines against B. pertussis consisting of whole-cell inactivated bacteria were introduced globally in the 1940s, leading to a ...

Pneumonia caused by Bordetella hinzii: A case report

Infectious Medicine
As well known, the species of Bordetella, such as Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are prevalent respiratory tract pathogens. Bordetella hinzii, another species of Bordetella genus, Bordetella hinzii could cause meningitis, bacteremia ...

Characterization of a Bvg-regulated fatty acid methyl-transferase in Bordetella pertussis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis controls the expression of its large virulence regulon in a coordinated manner through the two-component signal transduction system BvgAS.
