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

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

Why genes evolve faster on secondary chromosomes in bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In bacterial genomes composed of more than one chromosome, one replicon is typically larger, harbors more essential genes than the others, and is considered primary.

Forest Disturbance Drives Changes in the Functional Traits of Soil Bacteria: A Metagenomic Study of Kauri (Agathis australis) Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

Differential and Temporal Immunomodulation of alpha4 Integrins on CD4+ Memory Cells by Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis), is reemerging worldwide due to vaccine inefficacy. The hallmarks of infection are extreme lymphocytosis and delayed recovery, which are partially associated with pertussis toxin.

Genome dynamics of Bartonella grahamii in micro-populations of woodland rodents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Rodents represent a high-risk reservoir for the emergence of new human pathogens. The recent completion of the 2.3 Mb genome of Bartonella grahamii, one of the most prevalent blood-borne bacteria in wild rodents, revealed a higher abundance of

Tetracycline Resistance Pattern Among Lymphatic Filariasis‐Hyperendemic Communities in Southern Ghana: A Mixed‐Method Approach

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Tetracyclines continue to serve as a cost‐effective and essential treatment for common infections, particularly in resource‐limited regions such as lymphatic filariasis (LF)‐hyperendemic communities. The growing use of tetracycline‐based antibiotics by symptomatic filarial lymphedema patients, likely influenced by the ...

Bordetella bronchiseptica exploits the complex life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum as an amplifying transmission vector. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2017
Multiple lines of evidence suggest that Bordetella species have a significant life stage outside of the mammalian respiratory tract that has yet to be defined.

Genomic features of Bordetella parapertussisclades with distinct host species specificity [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2006
Abstract Background The respiratory pathogen Bordetella parapertussis is a valuable model in which to study the complex phenotype of host specificity because of its unique two-species host range. One subset of strains, including the sequenced representative, causes whooping cough in humans, while other ...
