Acquisition and loss of virulence-associated factors during genome evolution and speciation in three clades of Bordetella species [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2016
The genus Bordetella consists of nine species that include important respiratory pathogens such as the 'classical' species B. bronchiseptica, B. pertussis and B. parapertussis and six more distantly related and less extensively studied species. Here we analyze sequence diversity and gene content of 128 genome sequences from all nine species with focus ...

Significance of Bordetella bronchiseptica in Respiratory Tract Infections of Canines

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management
Bordetella bronchiseptica is one of the major pathogens affecting canine respiratory tract. The agent is transmitted through aerosol mode, contact with contaminated faces or urine as well as through infected fomites. The agent affects all age groups and

The BvgAS Regulon of Bordetella pertussis

mBio, 2017
Nearly all virulence factors in Bordetella pertussis are activated by a master two-component system, BvgAS, composed of the sensor kinase BvgS and the response regulator BvgA.

Isolation and Characterization of a Highly Virulent Getah Virus Causing Acute Lethal Infection in Neonatal Piglets

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Getah virus (GETV) is a mosquito‐borne alphavirus with an expanding host range and an increasing impact on swine production, particularly in neonatal piglets. In this study, a severe disease outbreak characterized by acute diarrhea and high mortality occurred among suckling piglets on a commercial pig farm in central China.

The importance of Bordetella pertussis strains which do not produce virulence factors in the epidemiology of pertussis

Postępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2017
Bordetella pertussis strains, which have lost the ability to produce antigens, such as pertactin - Prn, pertussis toxin - Ptx, filamentous haemagglutinin - FHA, fimbriae type 2 and 3 - Fim 2 and 3, tracheal colonization factor - TcfA, have recently been isolated in countries with a high vaccination coverage.

Epidemiology, Phylogenetic Divergence, and Differential Pathogenicity of Feline Respiratory Mycoplasma in China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mycoplasma felis (M. felis) is a wall‐less pathogen known to induce respiratory diseases in felines. Current research on respiratory M. felis infections is scant, lacking established typing system and nationwide epidemiological survey. This study investigated the prevalence of M.

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.

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof‐of‐Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Phylogeny, Synteny, and Distribution of Type III Secretion Systems in Burkholderia cenocepacia: A Closer Look Into Host Span

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
T3SS is a dedicated machinery that mediates interactions between bacteria and eukaryotic cells, providing a functional interface in pathogenic or symbiotic associations. Phylogenetic analyses and T3SS‐gene synteny revealed nine gene clusters, with no needle protein gene (sctF). However, an orphan CDS encoding a putative SctF was found.
