Virulence Factors Variation Among Bordetella Pertussis Isolates in Iran
Pertussis is still endemic and the recently resurgence of the disease caused by Bordetella pertussis has been shown in many countries. The polymorphism of the virulence genes of B. pertussis and lack of any information about the allelic variation between the Iranian isolates promotes us to analysis of the genes encoded virulence factors including ptxS1, prn, fim3 and cya to understand the diffe...
متن کاملBordetella pertussis Isolates, Finland
To the Editor: Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease in humans caused by Bordetella pertussis. Reemergence of pertussis has been observed in many countries with high vaccination coverage. In the United States, reported cases of pertussis in adolescents and adults have increased since the 1980s, despite increasingly high rates of vaccination in infants and chil...
متن کاملAcellular pertussis vaccines and complement killing of Bordetella pertussis.
Antibody-dependent complement killing of Bordetella pertussis after immunization with a three-component acellular pertussis vaccine was characterized. Postimmunization activity was unchanged for about half of the adult vaccine recipients. The responses of the other individuals were complex, with evidence of both beneficial and antagonistic responses occurring, sometimes in the same individual.

15 صفحه اولBordetella pertussis isolates with a heterogeneous phenotype for erythromycin resistance.
Erythromycin is currently being used for both prophylaxis and treatment of pertussis infections. Erythromycin resistance was first recognized in Bordetella pertussis in Arizona in 1994, and since then, three additional resistant isolates have been identified in the United States. To better assess the potential public health impact of erythromycin-resistant B. pertussis, we used the disk diffusi...
