Bordetella holmesii bacteremia cases in the United States, April 2010-January 2011.

چکیده
We describe the first report of temporally related cases of Bordetella holmesii bacteremia. Demographic and clinical data were collected through chart abstraction and case-patient interviews. Twenty-two cases were identified from 6 states. Symptom onset dates ranged from April 2010 to January 2011. Median age of patients was 17.1 years and 64% had functional or anatomic asplenia. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles of a sample of isolates were identical. These cases occurred during a peak in pertussis outbreaks with documented cases of B. holmesii/Bordetella pertussis respiratory coinfection; whether there is a link between B. holmesii respiratory and bloodstream infection is unknown.

Bordetella holmesii bacteremia in asplenic children: report of four cases initially misidentified as Acinetobacter lwoffii.
Bordetella holmesii is a fastidious Gram-negative rod that was initially identified in 1995. It causes bacteremia, predominantly among patients with anatomical or functional asplenia. We report four cases of B. holmesii bacteremia in asplenic children occurring within the last 4 years. In all cases, B. holmesii was misidentified by an automated system as Acinetobacter lwoffii.

متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequences of Bacteremia Isolates of Bordetella holmesii
Bordetella holmesii causes respiratory and invasive diseases in humans, but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. We report here the genome sequences of seven bacteremia isolates of B. holmesii, including the type strain. Comparative analysis of these sequences may aid studies of B. holmesii biology and assist in the development of species-specific diagnostic strategies.
