Bordetella bronchiseptica or Brucella: report of one case misidentification and review of the literature about Bordetella bronchiseptica infection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investigation of a clinical case of Brucella infection, in which the cause initially indicated Bordetella bronchiseptica, using automated identification techniques prompted a retrospective analysis of previously published cases of B. bronchiseptica infections in China and elsewhere. B. bronchiseptica infection is rarely found in humans, but more frequently in animals. Automated microbial identification systems may confuse B. bronchiseptica with Brucella sp. Brucella by contrast causes a notifiable communicable zoonotic disease. We sum marize here the pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical symptoms and microbiological identification of B. bronchiseptica infection in humans. 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Influence of potential virulence determinants on Bordetella bronchiseptica-induced ciliostasis.
Eighteen strains of Bordetella bronchiseptica, selected on the basis of previously determined phenotypic characteristics, were examined for their ability to induce ciliostasis in canine tracheal outgrowth cultures. Fifteen strains grown on brucella agar caused ciliostasis. Strains that did not cause ciliostasis were stable, nonpiliated, and nonhemolytic, they did not produce extracellular adeny...
متن کاملHuman infections associated with Bordetella bronchiseptica.
This study examines the potential of Bordetella bronchiseptica to act as a human pathogen. After encountering two patients from whom B. bronchiseptica was isolated, we searched the literature and found 23 reports in which a human infection was reported in association with B. bronchiseptica. As a basis for evaluating these cases, we summarize the literature about the current microbiological stat...
متن کاملBordetella bronchiseptica infection in stage IV Hodgkin's disease.
It is well known that patients with lymphoproliferative disorders have an altered immune status and are susceptible to opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections. The authors report the first case of a patient with advanced Hodgkin's disease who developed pneumonia caused by the animal pathogen Bordetella bronchiseptica. The most likely source ofthis organism was the patient's dog. While B....
متن کاملBordetella bronchicanis (bronchiseptica) infection in man: review and a case report.
Bordetella bronchicanis is a common respiratory tract commensal of mammals. Rarely it causes whooping cough in children. Compromised adults in hospitals may be colonised, and one terminal pneumonia is on record. The fatal pneumonia of a malnourished alcoholic described here was contracted at home.
متن کاملRelapsing Peritonitis Caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patient: A Case Report
Bordetella (B) bronchiseptica is a common veterinary pathogen, but has rarely been implicated in human infections. Most patients with B. bronchiseptica infections are compromised clinically such as in patients with a malignancy, AIDS, malnutrition, or chronic renal failure. We experienced a case of relapsing peritonitis caused by B. bronchiseptica associated with continuous ambulatory peritonea...
