IntroductionBordetella are respiratory pathogens comprised of three classical Bordetella species: B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica. With recent surges in Bordetella spp.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pertussis among patients with clinically compatible illness in the Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia
Background: Pertussis is an acute respiratory tract disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. In 2014, 24.1 million pertussis cases, resulting in 160,700 deaths, were estimated to have occurred worldwide.

A newly discovered Bordetella species carries a transcriptionally active CRISPR-Cas with a small Cas9 endonuclease. [PDF]
Background Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated genes (cas) are widely distributed among bacteria.

The type III secreted protein BspR regulates the virulence genes in Bordetella bronchiseptica. [PDF]
Bordetella bronchiseptica is closely related with B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, the causative agents of whooping cough. These pathogenic species share a number of virulence genes, including the gene locus for the type III secretion system (T3SS ...

Biological Properties of Lipopolysaccharides from Bordetella Species [PDF]
Biological activities of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) extracted from Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica were compared with those of Escherichia coli LPS. The LPS preparations from B. pertussis showed biological activities comparable to those of E. coli LPS in terms of lethal toxicity in galactosamine-sensitized mice, pyrogenicity

A comprehensive resource for Bordetella genomic epidemiology and biodiversity studies
The genus Bordetella includes bacteria that are found in the environment and/or associated with humans and other animals. A few closely related species, including Bordetella pertussis, are human pathogens that cause diseases such as whooping cough. Here,

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 ...
