Polymorphism inBordetella pertussisPertactin and Pertussis Toxin Virulence Factors in the United States, 1935–1999 [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000
To elucidate the potential role of the etiologic agent in recent increases of pertussis incidence in the United States, we studied the polymorphism in pertactin and pertussis toxin, which are Bordetella pertussis proteins important for pathogenesis and immunity. We sequenced regions of their genes (prn and ptx) in 152 B. pertussis strains isolated from

Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...

Genomic evidence for the evolution of Streptococcus equi : host restriction, increased virulence, and genetic exchange with human pathogens

, 2009
The continued evolution of bacterial pathogens has major implications for both human and animal disease, but the exchange of genetic material between host-restricted pathogens is rarely considered. Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S.

The Fim and FhaB adhesins play a crucial role in nasal cavity infection and Bordetella pertussis transmission in a novel mouse catarrhal infection model.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Pulmonary infections caused by Bordetella pertussis used to be the prime cause of infant mortality in the pre-vaccine era and mouse models of pertussis pneumonia served in characterization of B. pertussis virulence mechanisms.

Metagenomic and Phenotypic Insights Into Biofilm‐Forming Pathogens in Patients With Nosocomial Sepsis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Biofilm‐related infections significantly contribute to bacterial diseases, with estimates suggesting that at least 80% of such infections are associated with biofilms. These infections often involve opportunistic pathogens, which not only influence the type of infection but also impact the microenvironment by interacting with other polymicrobial ...
