Virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 1988Clearly, B. pertussis has evolved very elaborate mechanisms to maintain itself in the human host. Three different proteins (FHA, pertussis toxin and fimbriae) have been implicated in adherence. Furthermore, a number of toxins are produced (pertussis toxin, adenylate cyclase, dermonecrotic toxin, and tracheal cytotoxin) which destroy the clearance ...

Despite high vaccine coverage, whooping cough caused by Bordetella pertussis remains one of the most common vaccine-preventable diseases worldwide. Introduction of whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccines in the 1940s and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines in 1990s reduced the mortality due to pertussis.

DERMONECROTIC TOXIN: THE OLD BUT NEW VIRULENCE FACTOR PRODUCED BY BORDETELLA SPP.
Toxin Reviews, 2006Bordetella dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) is a virulence factor produced by bacteria belonging to the genus Bordetella including B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica. Intensive studies have clarified the structure and function of DNT in the last decade long after its discovery by Bordet and Gengou ().

Bordetella spp. includes Bordetella pertussis, the causal agent of whooping cough. The Bordetella virulence gene (BvgAS) two-component regulatory system (TCS) is considered the “master virulence regulator” in Bordetella, as it controls expression of all ...

Bordetella pertussis persists inside host cells, and virulence factors are crucial for intracellular adaptation. The regulation of B. pertussis virulence factor transcription primarily occurs through the modulation of the two-component system (TCS) known

Differential Regulation of Bordetella pertussis Virulence Factors
Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1993Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, regulates its virulence factors coordinately according to environmental parameters such as temperature and certain chemicals. A regulatory locus has been characterized which is essential for this regulation.

Environmental regulation of virulence factors in Bordetella species
BioEssays, 1993AbstractMany bacteria respond in a coordinate manner to environmental changes. External stimuli, sensed by receptors, are transduced to regulatory proteins which participate in well defined pathways of gene expression by varying their structure and mode of action. The network of environmental signal transduction is responsible for a fine and continuous
