Frequency, Burden and Pathogens of Acute Respiratory Illness in Very Preterm Infants During Infancy

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe the frequency, burden, and pathogen profile of acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) in very preterm infants during the first year after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. Methods Very preterm infants were followed prospectively (August 2015–January 2017) with monthly assessments of symptoms, medication use, and ...

Blockade of the Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Synergizes with Opsonizing Antibodies to Protect Mice against Bordetella pertussis

mBio, 2022
Bordetella produces an array of virulence factors, including the adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT), which is essential, immunogenic in humans, and highly conserved.

A simplified sequence-based identification scheme for Bordetella reveals several putative novel species

, 2014
The differentiation of Bordetella species, particularly those causing human infection, is problematic. We found that sequence analysis of an internal fragment of nrdA allowed differentiation of the currently named Bordetella species.

Incidence of Culture‐Proven Neonatal Sepsis and Its Correlation With Nurse Staffing in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Six‐Year Cohort Study

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To assess the incidence of culture‐proven sepsis and examine the correlation between positive blood cultures and nurse staffing in a Level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods This retrospective cohort study included neonates with ≥ 1 positive blood culture and signs of infection between 2018 and 2023.

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.

Species and Metabolic Pathways Involved in Bioremediation of Vietnamese Soil From Bien Hoa Airbase Contaminated With Herbicides

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2021
Four bacterial strains were isolated from enrichment cultures inoculated with soil from Bien Hoa military base in Vietnam contaminated with the herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4,5-T).

High-resolution melting analysis for the detection of two erythromycin-resistant Bordetella pertussis strains carried by healthy schoolchildren in China [PDF]

, 2013
Two erythromycin-resistant strains of Bordetella pertussis were isolated from nasopharyngeal specimens of two asymptomatic schoolchildren in China. High-resolution melting and sequencing analyses confirmed the homogeneous A2047G mutation in 23S rRNA ...

Topological, Functional, and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Cell Division Site Selection Protein MinJ of Bacillus subtilis

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
MinJ is a nine‐pass transmembrane protein with a cytoplasmic PDZ domain. The PDZ domain, while required for division, is dispensable for localization, and deletion of the transmembrane segments 6 and 7 results in a hyper‐minicell phenotype. ABSTRACT The Min system disassembles FtsZ‐rings after septation in Bacillus subtilis and is localized to the ...
