DegP Initiates Regulated Processing of Filamentous Hemagglutinin in Bordetella bronchiseptica [PDF]
Two-partner secretion (TPS) systems are broadly distributed among Gram-negative bacteria and play important roles in bacterial pathogenesis. FhaB-FhaC is the prototypical member of the TPS family and we here identified the protease that initiates a ...

Pertactin-Negative and Filamentous Hemagglutinin-Negative Bordetella pertussis, Australia, 2013–2017 [PDF]
During the 2008–2012 pertussis epidemic in Australia, pertactin (Prn)–negative Bordetella pertussis emerged. We analyzed 78 isolates from the 2013–2017 epidemic and documented continued expansion of Prn-negative ptxP3 B. pertussis strains.

Pseudomonas fluorescens filamentous hemagglutinin, an iron-regulated protein, is an important virulence factor that modulates bacterial pathogenicity [PDF]
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a common bacterial pathogen to a wide range of aquaculture animals including various species of fish. In this study, we employed proteomic analysis and identified filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) as an iron-responsive protein ...

Cooperative Roles for Fimbria and Filamentous Hemagglutinin in
Bordetella fimbriae (FIM) are generally considered to function as adhesins despite a lack of experimental evidence supporting this conclusion for Bordetella pertussis and evidence against a requirement for FIM in adherence of Bordetella bronchiseptica to

The use of filamentous hemagglutinin adhesin to detect immune responses to Campylobacter hepaticus infections in layer hens [PDF]
Campylobacter hepaticus is the aetiological agent of Spotty Liver Disease (SLD). SLD can cause significant production loss and mortalities among layer hens at and around peak of lay.

Subcutaneous administration of a fusion protein composed of pertussis toxin and filamentous hemagglutinin from Bordetella pertussis induces mucosal and systemic immune responses [PDF]
Objective(s): After decades of containment, pertussis disease, caused by Bordetella pertussis seems to be re-emerging and still remains a major cause of reported vaccine-preventable deaths worldwide.

Pasteurella multocida filamentous hemagglutinin B1 (fhaB1) gene is not involved with avian fowl cholera pathogenesis in turkey poults [PDF]
Background Pasteurella multocida is a Gram-negative coccobacillus and is the causative agent of fowl cholera in avian species. P. multocida expresses two large filamentous hemagglutinin (FhaB) proteins encoded by fhaB1 and fhaB2 genes. Previously, it was

Bordetella filamentous hemagglutinin and adenylate cyclase toxin interactions on the bacterial surface are consistent with FhaB-mediated delivery of ACT to phagocytic cells [PDF]
Bordetella species that cause respiratory infections in mammals include B. pertussis, which causes human whooping cough, and B. bronchiseptica, which infects nearly all mammals.

Pathogenicity and vaccine protection of circulating pertactin- and filamentous hemagglutinin-deficient Bordetella pertussis strains [PDF]
The increasing emergence of vaccine antigen-deficient Bordetella pertussis (Bp) variants has raised concerns regarding disease control and prevention. Here, we characterized the pathogenicity and vaccine protection of circulating pertactin-deficient (PRN−

Multiplexed bead-based assay for the simultaneous quantification of human serum IgG antibodies to tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis toxin, filamentous hemagglutinin, and pertactin [PDF]
BackgroundLuminex bead-based assays offer multiplexing to test antibodies against multiple antigens simultaneously; however, this requires validation using internationally certified reference standards.
