Complete Genome Sequence of Bordetella pertussis Strain VA-190 Isolated from a Vaccinated 10-Year-Old Patient with Whooping Cough
نویسندگان
چکیده
The number of cases of pertussis has increased in the United States despite vaccination. We present the genome of an isolate of Bordetella pertussis from a vaccinated patient from Virginia. The genome was sequenced by long-read methodology and compared to that of a clinical isolate used for laboratory studies, D420.

EVALUATION OF SERUM OPSONIC CAPACITY AGAINST BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS BY CHEMILUMINESCENCE
Serum opsonic capacity against B. pertussis was studied by using quantitative chemiluminescence (CL), a method known to have several advantages over conventional methods in evaluating opsonization and phagocytosis. Sera from unvaccinated infants was shown not to contain opsonins against B. pertussis and in unvaccinated infants suffering from whooping cough, no opsonins were detected. In ad...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Bordetella pertussis D420
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious, acute respiratory illness that has seen resurgence despite the use of vaccines. We present the complete genome sequence of a clinical strain of B. pertussis, D420, which is representative of a currently circulating clade of this pathogen.

Background and purpose: Bordetella pertussis is a gram negative and obligate aerobic bacteria that is cause of whooping cough and is exclusively a human pathogen. In the last decade increasing rate of pertussis was observed. Despite the importance of pertussis as a contagious disease enough information does not exist regarding its incidence rate in Iran. In this research pertussis suspicious ...

متن کاملبررسی تشکیل بیوفیلم در ایزولههای بوردتلا پرتوسیس با روش in vitro biofilm formation
Background and Objective: Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative cocobacilli bacterium and etiologic agent of whooping cough that in recent years, the number of its cases is on the rise. The ability of biofilm production helps this bacterium in interference with host immune system, severity of illness and antibiotic sensitivity. Thus, due to the importance of this factor, in this investigation...
