Bordetella parapertussis isolates not expressing pertactin circulating in France [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011
Surprisingly, most Bordetella parapertussis isolates collected in France since 2007 do not express pertactin, owing to mutations in the structural gene encoding this protein.

Role of the Bordetella pertussis P.69/pertactin protein and the P.69/pertactin RGD motif in the adherence to and invasion of mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology (United Kingdom), 1996
The role of the Bordetella pertussis P.69/pertactin protein in mammalian cell adhesion and invasion was investigated. Salmonella strains expressing surface-associated P.69/pertactin from a chromosomally located prn gene were significantly more invasive ...

Crystallographic Characterization of Pertactin, a Membrane-associated Protein from Bordetella pertussis

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 1994
Pertactin, a membrane-associated protein of Bordetella pertussis, has been crystallized in the presence of 28% ammonium sulphate. The space group is P6(3)22 with cell dimensions a = b = 178.2 A and c = 106.8 A.

Recombinant P.69/pertactin: immunogenicity and protection of mice against Bordetella pertussis infection

open access: yesVaccine, 1992
The immunogenicity of recombinant (r-) pertactin was examined. Parenteral immunization of mice with natural or r-pertactin produced a similar increase in serum anti-pertactin antibodies and a decrease in Bordetella pertussis lung counts following aerosol

Comparison of recombinant and native pertactin of Bordetella pertussis

Vaccine, 2011
Bordetella pertussis pertactin (Prn) is an important attachment factor and protective immunogen, which serves as a component in most acellular pertussis vaccines (APVs). Here, we over-expressed recombinant Prn (r-Prn) without an affinity tag using an Escherichia coli expression system. Compared to the native Prn (n-Prn) from B.

Recombinant Bordetella pertussis pertactin (P69) from the yeast Pichia pastoris: high-level production and immunological properties

open access: yesVaccine, 1991
Acellular whooping cough vaccines are based on pertussis toxoid but their effectiveness may be increased by the addition of other Bordetella pertussis antigens. We expressed the immunogenic outer membrane protein pertactin (P69) from B. pertussis to high

Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Molecular Detection of Pertactin-producing and Pertactin-Deficient Bordetella pertussis

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2017
Resurgence of Bordetella pertussis in recent years in the United States has coincided with a dramatic rise in pertactin-deficient strains. Limited data exist on detectability by nucleic acid amplification testing and antimicrobial susceptibility of pertactin-deficient B. pertussis. This study compares 15 pertactin-producing and 15 pertactin-deficient B.

First report and detailed characterization of B. pertussis isolates not expressing pertussis toxin or pertactin

open access: yesVaccine, 2009
International audienceBordetella pertussis isolates not expressing Pertussis Toxin (PT) or Pertactin (PRN) have been collected, for the first time in 2007, in France, a highly vaccinated country with acellular vaccines. Non-expression was due to deletion

Pertussis Vaccine Effectiveness in the Setting of Pertactin-Deficient Pertussis

Pediatrics, 2016
BACKGROUND:In the United States, the proportion of Bordetella pertussis isolates lacking pertactin, a component of acellular pertussis vaccines, increased from 14% in 2010 to 85% in 2012. The impact on vaccine effectiveness (VE) is unknown.METHODS:We conducted 2 matched case-control evaluations in Vermont to assess VE of the 5-dose diphtheria, tetanus,
