Production and secretion of virulence factors in Bordetella pertussis
, 2015 Bordetella pertussis is a strictly human pathogen and causative agent of infectious respiratory disease called whooping cough. In order to establish successful infection and colonization of the host, B.

Disorder-to-Order Transition in the CyaA Toxin RTX Domain: Implications for Toxin Secretion
Toxins, 2014 The past decade has seen a fundamental reappraisal of the protein structure-to-function paradigm because it became evident that a significant fraction of polypeptides are lacking ordered structures under physiological conditions.

Bordetella Type III Secretion Injectosome and Effector Proteins
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a resurging acute respiratory disease of humans primarily caused by the Gram-negative coccobacilli Bordetella pertussis, and less commonly by the human-adapted lineage of B. parapertussisHU.

Evolution of Physiology and Virulence in Bordetella
Pertussis (whooping cough) is an acute, re-emerging disease and global health threat. Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent, survives only in the human respiratory tract and briefly during transmission between hosts. B.

The Bordetella effector protein BteA induces host cell death by disruption of calcium homeostasis
mBioBordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough in humans, a disease that has recently experienced a resurgence. In contrast, Bordetella bronchiseptica infects the respiratory tract of various mammalian species, causing a range of symptoms ...

Understanding the Mechanism of Translocation of Adenylate Cyclase Toxin across Biological Membranes
Toxins, 2017 Adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) is one of the principal virulence factors secreted by the whooping cough causative bacterium Bordetella pertussis, and it has a critical role in colonization of the respiratory tract and establishment of the disease.
