Comparative outer membrane proteomic analyses of bovine and ovine isolates of Mannheimia haemolytica and Mannheimia glucosida [PDF]
, 2012 In the present study, recombinant proteins representing the transmembrane domain of M. haemolytica outer membrane protein A (OmpA) from a bovine serotype A1 isolate (rOmpA1) and an ovine serotype A2 isolate (rOmpA2) were over-expressed, purified and used

Analysis of the virulence regulatory locus of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]
, 1990 The primary aim of this research was to characterize recombinant cosmid clone pRMB2, and subclone the vir locus. Clone pRMB2 was identified from a gene library of Bordetella pertussis TAB I DNA in Escherichia coli, by its ability to restore a Vir ...

Role of Actinobacillus suis adhesins in host-pathogen interactions in the tonsils of the soft palate of swine [PDF]
, 2016 Tonsils are the immune system’s first line of defence against antigens entering the upper respiratory tract. Paradoxically, they are also an important site of colonisation and can be a portal of entry for many pathogens.

Genetic analysis and characterisation of the BapC autotransporter of bordetella pertussis [PDF]
, 2008 The autotransporters are a family of extracellular proteins, found in various Gram-negative bacteria, that have many different functions but appear to have a similar mechanism of export. In B.

Characterisation of the virulence-related, outer-membrane proteins of B. pertussis [PDF]
, 2000 At the beginning of this study, knowledge of autotransporter proteins was in its infancy and the B. pertussis proteins pertactin, BrkA and tracheal colonisation factor (Tcf) had not been recognised as members of this family.

Transposon mutagenesis of virulence regulatory genes of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]
, 1990 A suitable Tn5 delivery vector for mutagenesis of the pathogen Bordetella pertussis was identified as the ColIb-based plasmid pLG221. Insertion mutants, created using this 'suicide' vector, were screened for the loss of virulence-associated properties ...

Chromosomal DNA variation in Bordetella species [PDF]
, 1993 Previous studies had shown that a probe, containing a hin DNA invertase gene from S. typhimurium, hybridised to a B. pertussis chromosomal DNA fragment. This B. pertussis fragment was sequenced in this study.

Interaction of Bordetella bronchiseptica and different Bordetella factors with sheep bone marrow mast cells and other cell types [PDF]
, 2006 A number of studies have reported that mast cells (MCs) play a critical role in host immune defence against bacterial infections. These studies have shown that mast cells have the ability to recognize and engulf bacteria.
