Morphology of cells and hemagglutinogens of Bordetella species: resolution of substructural units in fimbriae of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1983
The morphology of cells and the hemagglutinogens isolated from cultures of Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella bronchiseptica, and Bordetella parapertussis were studied by electron microscopy with the negative-staining technique. Cells of all three species had long, thin (3 nm thick), peritrichously arranged fimbriae on the cell surface.

Conservation of Ancient Genetic Pathways for Intracellular Persistence Among Animal Pathogenic Bordetellae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Animal and human pathogens of the genus Bordetella are not commonly considered to be intracellular pathogens, although members of the closely related classical bordetellae are known to enter and persist within macrophages in vitro and have anecdotally ...

Molecular evolution of the two-component system BvgAS involved in virulence regulation in Bordetella. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis is closely related to Bordetella bronchiseptica, which is responsible for chronic respiratory infections in various mammals and is occasionally found in humans, and to Bordetella parapertussis, one lineage of

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Bacteremia caused by a novel Bordetella species, "B. hinzii" [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1994
Bordetella spp. cause respiratory tract diseases in warm-blooded animals. Only Bordetella bronchiseptica has been reported to cause bacteremia in humans, and this rare infection usually occurs with pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. We describe "Bordetella hinzii" bacteremia in an AIDS patient without a respiratory illness.

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 ...
