Immune-Mediated Evasion of the Adaptive Immune Response by the Bordetellae (2008)
The Bordetella, a genus composed of nine species of gram negative bacteria, include B. bronchiseptica, B. pertussis, and B. parapertussis, three mammalian respiratory pathogens. B. bronchiseptica is...

The genus Bordetella includes a group of closely related mammalian pathogens that cause a variety of respiratory diseases in a long list of animals (B. bronchiseptica) and whooping cough in humans...
The O Antigen Enables Bordetella parapertussis To Avoid Bordetella pertussis-Induced Immunity▿
Wolfe, Daniel N., Goebel, Elizabeth M., Bjornstad, Ottar N., Restif, Olivier, Harvill, Eric T.
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are closely related endemic human pathogens which cause whooping cough, a disease that is reemerging in human populations. Despite how closely...
O Antigen Protects Bordetella parapertussis from Complement▿
Goebel, Elizabeth M., Wolfe, Daniel N., Elder, Kelly, Stibitz, Scott, Harvill, Eric T.
Bordetella pertussis, a causative agent of whooping cough, expresses BrkA, which confers serum resistance, but the closely related human pathogen that also causes whooping cough, Bordetella...
