Bordetella

We present a rare case of endocarditis in a 33-year-old woman with a splenectomy. The patient presented with meningeal symptoms and was diagnosed with endocarditis on the medical admissions unit using a portable echocardiography machine. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Comparison of the potencies of WT toxin and those of mutants that only increase cAMP or only create transmembrane pores establishes that at least two mechanisms are contributory and that simply the production of cAMP is not enough to account for the cytotoxicity [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Compared with intact CyaA, a CyaA-AC – toxoid unable to generate cAMP promoted a faster, albeit transient, elevation of [Ca 2 ] i. [doi.org]

There are no current standards for susceptibility testing or treatment recommendations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment 2 Antibacterial treatment is effective during the earlier stages of pertussis and can reduce spread to others. Several types of antibiotics are active against B. pertussis, but macrolides are preferred for both treatment and prophylaxis. [quidel.com]

Regarding prevention, there is no consensus on prophylactic treatment following index cases and no vaccine is available. Epidemiological data are also sparse, with few prevalence studies available. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A point mutation in the transmitter (H729Q) prevented autophosphorylation of 'BvgS. In contrast to other characterized sensor proteins, autophosphorylation also required sequences in the 'BvgS receiver and C-terminal domains. [doi.org]

Whoping cough is vaccine-preventable disease that presents a great mortality rate in some countries. For over 40 years wholecell pertussis vaccines have been very effective, preventing about 760,000 deaths annually worldwide. [en.vircell.com]
